PEEL SKIN TREATMENT

The Preparation-Peel

Skin Treatment The preparation-peel program is a non-surgical skin treatment that helps the skin of the face and neck appear healthier, cleaner, firmer and younger. It is used to improve: fine wrinkles, fine scars, acne in young people, large pores and dark spots.

This skin treatment is achieved by stimulating the deep layers of your skin while shedding damaged, superficial cells.

This program can be used for:

• Most age groups
• Most skin colors (white, brown, black, etc.)
• Most skin types (thick or thin, oily or dry)

This treatment usually:

• Causes only some discomfort
• Produces natural-looking skin (and not a waxy or artificial look)
• Results in a normal-looking skin colour (and not a whitish face that contrasts with the rest of the body)
• Does not use phenol, except in a revision peel of persistent spots “spot peel”.

This skin treatment consists of two phases :

• Phase 1: The skin preparation pre-peel program, lasting for 4 to 8 weeks.
• Phase 2: The “light”, “medium” or “concentrated” peel procedure.

Fees for the peel treatment are paid in 2 installments: first a deposit, followed by payment of the balance at a later date. The peel fees cover all consultations with the office assistants and all phone inquiries.

The initial set of skin products, necessary for the average pre-peel preparation, is supplied to you at no cost. Additionally, a few medications prescribed for you during the course of treatment can be purchased from any pharmacy.

The Preparation Program (Pre-Peel)

A combination of skin products is carefully selected for you by Dr. Fanous, to be used morning and night. They include: cleansers, astringents, exfoliatives, stimulators, color blenders, sunscreens, and moisturizers. This program is usually followed for 4 to 8 weeks. Initially, you may look worse. Your skin may flake and appear red and feel dry and sensitive. Spots may appear darker than before. However, within two to three weeks, you will gradually feel and look better.
