DURING YOUR TREATMENT
We start with a thorough cleanse of the face before applying the pre-peel solution. Your AlphaRet peel will then be mixed and applied to the face for 3 minutes. The peel is then removed, and your skin is cleaned with a
post-peel cleanse. The treatment is completed by applying SkinBetter Science Alto Defence serum and a rich moisturiser. The entire treatment takes approximately 30 minutes.
Post-Treatment: Although it's not essential, Your skin can be prepped with one of our Vitamin A serums before having an AlphaRet Professional Peel. For five days before treatment, discontinue using retinoid or retinol
containing products, including AlphaRet or other Vitamin A derivatives.
Do not have facial hair waxed or lasered 48 hrs before treatment, and avoid facial shaving for at least 12hrs before treatment.
Please talk to your therapist if you have had
any recent procedures to confirm suitability.
Pre-Treatment: There is little to no downtime, and you can resume normal activities immediately. However, we advise you to avoid strenuous exercise or swimming for 24 hours after treatment. We recommend using SkinBetter Science
Alto Defence Antioxidant Serum twice daily after the peel as it soothes and calms the skin. The SkinBetter Science A-Team Duo Kit is a simple 2 step kit suitable for preparing patients for in-clinic treatments, and it contains Alto Defence & AlphaRet Overnight

You will experience mild to moderate tingling or stinging during the treatment. You may be a bit red post-peel, which will last for a few hours.
