Cleanse

1. Facial Wash Oily/Problem – Cleanse the area of treatment thoroughly. Rinse and pat dry.

Prep

2. Smoothing Toner –Apply with a cotton pad to prep the skin. Allow the skin to dry. This product may sting or tingle on some individuals. Assess sensitivity by asking the patient, “On a scale of one to ten, ten being extremely active, how do you rate this sensation (or feeling)?”

Treat

3. MD Peel (CCl3)

  • Apply first layer with a mask brush.
  • Use the scale of 1 to 10 to gauge sensitivity. It is expected that the patient will rate their sensation higher than a six, up to ten. Have fans available to cool patient down as blanching will most likely occur with first layer.
  • The total number of layers is determined by the needs, goals, and individual sensitivity of the patient. It is recommended to wait two to five minutes in between layers when applying multiple layers.
  • The maximum number of layers is left to the discretion of the physician.

Retinoid booster (optional)

5. Advanced Treatment Booster – Dispense two pumps into gloved hands. Gently spread the product over the area of treatment, keeping application even and thin.

An alternative PCA SKIN® broad spectrum SPF product can be used to increase customization: Weightless Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 45 for oily, acneic skin.
