Glycolic Peel 50%

Professional Application

A procedure based on diagnosis, precision and clinical control
The success of a professional chemical peel does not depend solely on the formulation used.
Correct patient assessment, proper skin preparation, the application technique and subsequent follow-up are essential factors in achieving safe, reproducible results tailored to each clinical situation.
TherapDerma Glycolic Peel 50% has been developed exclusively for professional use and should always be incorporated into carefully planned protocols, respecting both skin physiology and the biological evolution of each patient.
________________________________________
PRE-TREATMENT CLINICAL ASSESSMENT
Before starting any treatment, the professional should perform a comprehensive clinical assessment to confirm the patient’s suitability for this procedure.
The initial assessment should include:
✔ skin type;
✔ phototype;
✔ degree of photoageing;
✔ thickness of the stratum corneum;
✔ skin sensitivity;
✔ dermatological history;
✔ recent aesthetic treatments;
✔ patient expectations.
This assessment represents the first step in developing a safe and personalised protocol.

SKIN PREPARATION
Proper preparation promotes uniform peel application and improves procedural control.
Before starting, it is recommended to:
✔ thoroughly cleanse the treatment area;
✔ remove all traces of make-up, sunscreen and sebum;
✔ degrease the skin surface when indicated;
✔ protect the most sensitive areas, such as the corners of the mouth, the nasal folds and the periocular area.
The skin must be completely clean and dry before applying the product.
________________________________________
DURING APPLICATION
The peel should be applied using a uniform and systematic technique.
Throughout the procedure, the professional should continuously observe the skin response and adapt the treatment according to the clinical evolution.
It is important to monitor:
✔ uniformity of application;
✔ skin response;
✔ patient comfort;
✔ exposure time;
✔ the need for neutralisation.
The treatment should always be individualised.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CLINICAL OBSERVATION
Every skin responds differently.
For this reason, the evolution observed during the treatment session has greater clinical value than any rigid protocol.
The professional’s experience allows the skin response to be correctly interpreted and the appropriate moment to end the procedure to be determined.
Safety should always take precedence over treatment intensity.
________________________________________
PEEL NEUTRALISATION
For peels formulated with Glycolic Acid, neutralisation is an essential stage of the procedure.
Its purpose is to stop the action of the acid once the desired clinical effect has been achieved.
After neutralisation, the skin should be carefully cleansed before continuing with the post-treatment protocol.
________________________________________
IMMEDIATE AFTERCARE
Once the session has been completed, it is recommended to apply products designed to promote skin comfort and support the recovery of the skin barrier function.
The professional should advise the patient to:
✔ maintain adequate hydration;
✔ use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day;
✔ avoid direct sun exposure;
✔ avoid potentially irritating products during the first few days;
✔ strictly follow the recommended home care programme.
Post-treatment care forms part of the treatment itself and contributes to optimising the clinical outcome.
________________________________________
PATIENT FOLLOW-UP
The assessment does not end when the treatment session is completed.
Clinical follow-up makes it possible to evaluate:
✔ the progress of epidermal renewal;
✔ patient tolerance;
✔ the clinical response achieved;
✔ the need to modify the treatment protocol;
✔ planning of the next session.
Each follow-up visit provides valuable information for personalising treatment.
________________________________________
CLINICAL DOCUMENTATION
It is recommended that every procedure is documented by recording:
✔ updated medical history;
✔ informed consent where appropriate;
✔ standardised clinical photographs;
✔ concentration used;
✔ exposure time;
✔ observed skin response;
✔ home care recommendations.
Comprehensive documentation facilitates patient follow-up and improves therapeutic continuity.
