Contra-Indications
The Skin Culture peeling formula is so SAFE due to the washing and refining of the ingredients; you will feel comfortable working with this salon cosmetic chemical peel.
Developed in 1937 the Skin Culture Peel has been used by tens of thousands of women and men and is registered in Canada via Skin Culture Inc with Health Sante - company code 8740.
Very rarely will a client have an allergic reaction to the Skin Culture Peel. The symptoms may include itching, swelling, redness, and stinging lasting for a few days. The following should not have a chemical peel:
- Clients who are pregnant or lactating
- Clients using Ro-Accutane or other dermatological drugs
- Clients using retinoic acid (Retin-A), which should be discontinued about 30 days before peeling is administered.
- Clients who have extremely thin or couperose skin.
- Clients with a history of fever blisters or herpes simplex which can be stimulated by chemical peeling.
- Clients who have a history of medical problems. Example of these conditions include, but are not limited to eczema, sebhorrea, psoriasis, bacterial skin infections and extremely sensitive or hyper-allergic skin.
Dark skin types may sometimes have a tendency to hyper-pigment after a peel. If the client pulls off skin that is not ready, blotchy hyper-pigmentation can occur. Normally this fades within a few weeks as long as the skin is protected with a sunscreen.
Your proficiency in chemical peeling will increase as you perform more and more peelings.
It should be noted that the Skin Culture Peel will not:
- Remove deep wrinkles
- Remove deep pitted scarring or acne pocks
- Cause a lifting effect on the skin
The Skin Culture Peel will, however:
- Improve the skin's texture
- Even the colouring
- Help to lighten hyper-pigmentation
- Improve fine lines and rough textures
- Help repair sun damaged skin
- Help treat acne-prone skin
