Combination Treatments: Chapter 1 – Mandelic Acid Peel + DermaFNS
Why are combination treatments worth it? If you want to get the most out of your treatments then why not have 2-in-1. I will start with telling you about combining a Mandelic Acid Peel with a DermaFNS treatment and the benefits you will receive from doing this.
We start with the Mandelic Acid peel to target fine lines, wrinkles and dull skin. This will also give you a deep exfoliation, remove dead cells and sun-damage. This peel is suitable for all skin types, all year round (even in the summer!). The DermaFNS needling will target any deeper lines whilst giving you the ultimate refresh. DermaFNS will also help to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin aiding in reducing the appearance of signs of ageing.
We begin the treatment but using numbing cream all over the face and letting it get to work for around 30 minutes. Once our patient is numb, we remove all of the cream and carry out a cleanse to prepare the skin for the Mandelic Acid peel which stays on for up to 10 minutes. Once the peel has been neutralised and the skin re-prepped, we place a generous layer of MSM cream all over the face to help the needles glide over the surface of the skin and reduce the erythema that can be caused. The needle height will be adjusted depending on the area that is being worked on, the needles will be deeper on the cheeks than they would be around the eye area as the skin is thinner around the eyes. After the needling has been completed more MSM cream will be applied to the skin. Before beginning your treatments, your therapist will talk you through the consent form, including any risks and downtime that may be involved, and give you aftercare advice for you to follow at home to maximise your results and minimise the risk of complications occurring.
Combining these chemical and physical treatments will allow you to target both the deep and superficial structure of the skin for smoother, tighter and firmer skin.
