| Frequently
Asked Questions
How does the LPS Peel work?
An
innovative formula comprising a combination of three acids:
• L + Lactic Acid; exfoliates by dissolving surface
dead cells and provides the skin a total renewing effect,
while moisturising, regulating PH balance and lightening skin
by suppressing the formation of Tyrosinase (enzyme necessary
for melanin production)
• Pyruvic Acid: a flower acid obtained from the chalices
of the subtropical malvaceae: Hibiscus Sabdariffa, very rich
in pyruvic acid and a keto-acid, which stimulates the cellular
turn over unlike any other acid.
• Salicylic Acid: a natural acid extracted from wintergreen,
effective in dissolving the top layer of accumulated corneum
cells. A true keratolytic and natural antiseptic.
The
LPS Peel significantly and visibly improves skin texture,
smoothing the appearance of wrinkles. It also serves to lighten
hyperpigmentation, tighten pores, and reduce acne spots and
scarring.
Are
chemical peels safe?

combining scientifically advanced products with qualified
Skin and Laser Specialists, chemical peels are very safe.

Why
do I need a consultation?
Consultations are conducted with clients before the treatment
to:
• Assess if the chemical peel is appropriate for you
• Explain the skin rejuvenation process
• Advise pre and post treatment care instructions
• Advise the cost of treatment
Are
Chemical Peel treatments painful?
Tolerance
levels vary for all. In most cases clients will say that they
felt no pain or a slight tingle sensation that was minimal
and tolerable.
How
should I prepare before for my treatment?
To
minimise the possibility of adverse skin effects we recommend
avoiding the following activities for at least 48 hours before
your treatment:
•
Use of masks, scrubs, astringents, prescription strength exfoliants,
AHA products, Retin-A and benzoyl peroxide products
• Solariums
• Topical fake tans
A
pre treatment gel is recommended to be applied daily, for
14 days before your peel for ultimate results to be achieved.
Your Skin and Laser Specialist will discuss your recommended
home care regime with you during your consultation.
Are
there any post treatment restrictions?
Your
Skin and Laser Specialist will advise you post treatment care
instructions during your treatment. Please avoid the following
activities to enhance treatment results:
•
Use of prescription strength exfoliant creams
• Swimming pools and spas with multiple chemicals/ chlorine
• Activities that cause excessive perspiration
• Sun exposure (apply SPF 30 + sunscreen daily on areas
being treated)
• Solariums
We
recommend using the following products post treatments:
•
If wearing make-up, apply a non-clogging camouflage makeup
(preferably mineral make-up)
• On the day of your treatment, rinse your face with
cool water and pat dry as often as needed.
• If make up has been applied DO NOT wash your skin
with any alternative products. Medicalia products are recommended
to maximise treatment results.
Are
chemical peel results permanent?
When qualified and highly trained Skin and Laser Specialists
perform treatments such as the team at The Laser Lounge, chemical
peel treatments are very effective.
Occasional
maintenance treatments may be required to up keep the improvement
in your skin. It is important to avoid excessive sun exposure
and apply SPF 30+ sunscreen daily during and post treatments.
How
do I know if chemical peel treatments are working for me?
You will see real results during your treatment course. Your
skin will initially look red and flushed and possible scabbing
or peeling of the skin may occur. Your skin will also feel
tight, mask-like and sensitive for a couple of days. Shortly
after, this sensation will start to minimise. The results
will become more impressive with each successive treatment.
Your skin’s overall texture and complexion will also
improve throughout the treatments.
Your
Skin and Laser Specialist will advise some additional tips
for you to control the redness during and after your treatment.
Our clients are continually experiencing great results and
value for money at The Laser Lounge!
How
many treatments will I need?
For
best results, on average we recommend completing 6 to 8 treatments.
As the condition of skin and individual expectations will
differ the number of treatments required may vary. During
your consultation your Skin and Laser Specialist will discuss
a personalised treatment plan for you.
Maintenance
treatments may be recommended for some clients based on the
skin condition and lifestyle.
How
do I know when to come in for my next treatment?
On average we recommend treating the area weekly. Your Skin
and Laser Specialist will assess your individual progress
throughout your treatment course, recommending the best time
to return for your follow up treatment. If you are uncertain,
please feel free to ask our team.
Will
my medication affect my treatment?
Certain medications may affect your chemical peel treatment
if they are photosensitive (such as Roaccutane and Retin A
which can cause pigmentation). If you are taking any medications
it is best to advise your Skin and Laser Specialist so that
we can ensure the best possible treatment results for you.
Depending on the medication course, we may suggest performing
treatments at least 2 to 6 months after taken.
