Genosys Multi-Acid Peel

Usually superficial peels can be repeated every two to four weeks. To achieve desired results in conjunction with appropriate skincare products, we recommend a minimum course of four peels.

Cosmetic medicine isn’t an exact science and is not without complication or unwanted side effects. However we take every precaution to minimise and limit any complications. Reported side effects include but are not limited to the following: redness, extreme dryness, blotches, discomfort, burning, bruising, swelling, pigmentation, scarring, infection, blistering, temporary or permanent skin changes.

Please note that the Genosys SRS peeling system is not suitable for those with nut allergies as it contains almond extract.

For one week prior and two weeks after treatment, please avoid extensive sun exposure and apply SPF 30+ sunscreen as part of your daily skin care routine. During this seven-day period also avoid facials, fake tan, electrolysis, waxing, tweezing, depilatory creams, and laser hair removal.

Please arrive with the area to be treated clean and free of make-up, aftershave or perfume.
Please advise us of any medical condition or medication(s) that you are taking
before every treatment. Certain drugs may counter-indicate treatment and increase the risk of unwanted side effects. We are unable to treat clients with active cold sores or warts, wounds, sunburn, excessively sensitive skin, dermatitis or inflammatory rosacea in the area. Patients with a history of allergies, rashes, or other skin reactions could be sensitive to treatment.

This peel is not recommended if you have taken Roaccutane within the last six months, or received chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

Please avoid picking, scratching or peeling the treated skin. To minimise any discomfort following treatment, we recommend the Soothing Repair Postcream from the Genosys range of products.

Avoid washing your face for the first day after your treatment, and also avoid hot baths and heat treatments for the first few days after treatment. For the first week avoid harsh cleansers, scrubs, Clarisonic or any other scrubbing brushes, washcloths, Retin-A, AHAs, or Benzoyl Peroxide.

After treatment, you may notice that any dark spots or pigmentation appear a little more visible. This is a normal part of the non-chemical peel process, as it
essentially raises this pigment to the surface, before exfoliating it out of the skin. Depending on how deep the spot is, it may take a series of treatments to see the full results but with each peel, you are one step closer to a brighter, more even skin tone.
