Neostrata ® Peels: Preventions
The Neostrata ® peel is a safe skin care treatment with no major complications. Mostly, the treated skin appears normal and has no signs of peel application. However, in a few cases, the patient may experience mild sloughing and irritation for a short period of time immediately after the peel is taken off. One can also experience temporary redness in the treated area which resolves in a few hours.
Scarring may occur if scabs are picked during the peel off process. This can also lead to hyper-pigmentation or hypo-pigmentation in a few cases. Before your first glycolic peel treatment, is it best to use a mild peel at home for about two weeks to make sure that you are not allergic to it., Your practitioner will usually provide a suitable home glycolic peel product.
Neostrata ® peels provide effective results on all skin types and colors. However, they should not be used by breast feeding mothers and pregnant women.
