Lactic Peel 30%

Professional Application

A Procedure Based on Diagnosis, Precision and Respect for Skin Physiology
The success of a professional chemical peel does not depend exclusively on the formulation used.
Proper patient assessment, appropriate skin preparation, application technique, continuous clinical observation and post-treatment follow-up are essential factors in achieving safe, reproducible results tailored to the individual needs of each patient.
Lactic Peel 30% TherapDerma has been developed exclusively for professional use and should be incorporated into carefully planned treatment protocols that respect the skin barrier function, hydration status and regenerative capacity of the skin.
The excellent tolerability of Lactic Acid does not replace the need for an accurate diagnosis. On the contrary, it enables practitioners to develop highly personalised treatments while maintaining an excellent balance between clinical efficacy and safety.

PRE-TREATMENT CLINICAL ASSESSMENT
Before beginning any procedure, the practitioner should carry out a comprehensive clinical assessment to confirm that the patient is suitable for treatment.
The initial assessment should include:
✔ skin type;
✔ skin phototype;
✔ level of skin hydration;
✔ condition of the skin barrier function;
✔ skin sensitivity;
✔ dermatological history;
✔ recent aesthetic treatments;
✔ current medication;
✔ patient expectations.
This assessment forms the basis for designing a personalised treatment protocol and selecting the appropriate treatment intensity.

SKIN PREPARATION
Proper preparation promotes even peel application and improves procedural control.
Before beginning treatment, it is recommended to:
✔ thoroughly cleanse the treatment area;
✔ remove all traces of make-up, sunscreen and excess sebum;
✔ degrease the skin surface when required by the treatment protocol;
✔ protect particularly sensitive areas such as the corners of the mouth, the nasal folds and the eye contour.
The skin should be completely clean and dry before applying the product.

DURING APPLICATION
The peel should be applied using a consistent, methodical and carefully controlled technique.
Throughout the procedure, the practitioner should continuously observe the skin’s response and adapt the treatment according to the clinical progression.
It is important to monitor:
✔ uniformity of application;
✔ skin response;
✔ patient comfort;
✔ exposure time;
✔ the appearance of relevant clinical signs;
✔ the need for neutralisation according to the established treatment protocol.
Every treatment should be individualised and adapted to the physiological response observed.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CLINICAL OBSERVATION
Every patient’s skin responds differently to the same chemical peel.
Factors such as hydration status, stratum corneum thickness, individual sensitivity and regenerative capacity influence the clinical response during the procedure.
The practitioner’s experience allows these responses to be interpreted correctly and helps determine the most appropriate moment to conclude the treatment.
Patient safety should always take precedence over treatment intensity.
________________________________________
PEEL NEUTRALISATION
For peels formulated with Lactic Acid, the need for neutralisation depends on the specific characteristics of the formulation and on the clinical treatment protocol established by the manufacturer.
When neutralisation is required, it should be performed once the intended therapeutic endpoint has been reached in order to stop the activity of the acid in a controlled manner.
Once this step has been completed, the skin should be carefully cleansed before proceeding to the subsequent stages of treatment.
Practitioners should always follow the official product instructions to ensure maximum safety and procedural reproducibility.
________________________________________
IMMEDIATE POST-TREATMENT CARE
Once the treatment session has been completed, products designed to promote skin comfort, preserve hydration and support the physiological recovery of the skin barrier should be applied.
The practitioner should advise the patient to:
✔ use appropriate moisturising products;
✔ apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily;
✔ avoid direct sun exposure;
✔ avoid potentially irritating cosmetic products during the first few days;
✔ strictly follow the recommended home care instructions.
Post-treatment care forms an integral part of the treatment and plays a decisive role in optimising clinical results.
________________________________________
PATIENT FOLLOW-UP
Clinical assessment does not end when the treatment session is completed.
Follow-up appointments allow the practitioner to evaluate:
✔ progression of epidermal renewal;
✔ recovery of the skin barrier function;
✔ skin hydration levels;
✔ treatment tolerability;
✔ clinical response achieved;
✔ the need to adjust the treatment protocol;
✔ planning of the next treatment session.
Each review provides essential information for personalising the patient’s therapeutic progression.
________________________________________
CLINICAL DOCUMENTATION
It is recommended that every procedure be documented through:
✔ an updated clinical history;
✔ informed consent where applicable;
✔ standardised clinical photographs;
✔ concentration used;
✔ exposure time;
✔ skin response observed during treatment;
✔ complementary products used;
✔ home care recommendations.
Comprehensive documentation facilitates clinical follow-up, improves treatment continuity and enhances the overall quality of patient care.
________________________________________
PROFESSIONAL CHECKLIST
Before concluding the treatment session, confirm that:
☐ A complete clinical assessment has been carried out.
☐ The skin has been properly prepared.
☐ The peel has been applied evenly.
☐ The skin response has been monitored throughout the procedure.
☐ Neutralisation has been performed where required by the treatment protocol.
☐ Appropriate post-treatment care has been provided.
☐ The patient has received home care instructions.
☐ The next clinical review has been scheduled.
A systematic approach promotes safer procedures and more consistent clinical outcomes.

GOOD CLINICAL PRACTICE
The application of Lactic Peel 30% should form part of professional practice based on:
✔ individualised diagnosis;
✔ personalised treatment protocols;
✔ respect for the skin barrier function;
✔ preservation of skin hydration;
✔ continuous clinical observation;
✔ comprehensive documentation;
✔ ongoing clinical follow-up;
✔ continuous treatment improvement.
These principles enable highly safe, reproducible procedures fully aligned with modern evidence-based aesthetic medicine.
