Neostrata ProSystem Facial Protocols target multiple skin concerns including Ageing, Skin of colour photodamage, Adult or Teen Acne, Melasma, Rosacea and Sensitive Skin, Pseudofolliculitis Barbae and Keratosis Pilaris. Treatment can also be extended to the neck or hands.
Alternatively, Firm and Lift Neck Treatment or Renewing Hand Treatment may be offered as stand-alone protocols along with the other targeted Body treatments.
Peels can be performed at 3-4 week intervals, as long as the skin has fully healed and there are no complications. If the skin is not fully healed the period between peels can be spaced further apart. A series of 4-6 peels are usually needed for results with regular maintenance after that every 3-6 months.
A period of at least 2 weeks preparation with skin care is required before having this peel. Darker skins will need longer periods of preparation with skincare products.
