Oxypeel protocol
Following consultation, the patient was given products to pre-treat her skin for two weeks prior to beginning in-clinic treatments. Homecare and maintenance products: Foaming Milk, Oxypeel Treatment Cream and Zap-It.
The patient was asked to attend the clinic on a weekly basis initially for six weeks. Her treatment programme, image 1.1 (baseline), began with four Oxygenating sessions; result after fourth session – image 1.2. As she did not exhibit any scarring or pigmentation her programme continued for a further two weeks at which point her skin was completely clear of acne and erythema. She was advised to continue on a maintenance programme of Foaming Milk and Oxypeel Treatment Cream, and to use Zap It if spots appeared.
