Therapeutic Mask Treatment Protocol

Treatment Protocol

PCA SKIN^® offers five results-oriented masks that treat a wide range of skin types and concerns, making them a great addition to the treatment room.

Treat

3. Hydrate: Therapeutic Oat Milk Mask – Apply a generous amount to the area of treatment using gloved hands, enough to cover the face. For the best results, Hydrate should be rubbed into the skin.

Detoxify: Therapeutic Charcoal Mask – Apply a generous amount to the area of treatment using gloved hands, enough to cover the face. Use the scale of 1 to 10 to gauge sensitivity.

Correct

5. After removing the mask, customize the protocol with a combination of corrective daily care products to address your patient’s particular concerns and skincare goals.
