Lactic Peel 40%

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, adequate skin preparation, correct application technique, continuous clinical observation and appropriate follow-up are essential factors for achieving safe, reproducible results tailored to the individual needs of each patient.
Lactic Peel 40% TherapDerma has been developed exclusively for professional use and should be incorporated into carefully planned treatment protocols that respect the skin barrier, hydration status and the skin’s regenerative capacity.
Its greater epidermal renewal capacity makes it possible to develop more advanced protocols, provided that appropriate patient selection and individualised clinical planning are carried out. Treatment effectiveness depends on maintaining the balance between therapeutic intensity, safety and professional control.

PRE-TREATMENT CLINICAL ASSESSMENT
Before beginning any procedure, the professional should carry out a complete clinical evaluation to confirm that the patient is a suitable candidate for treatment.
The initial assessment should include:
✔ skin type;
✔ skin phototype;
✔ level of skin hydration;
✔ skin barrier condition;
✔ skin sensitivity;
✔ dermatological history;
✔ recent aesthetic treatments;
✔ current medication;
✔ previous experience with chemical peels;
✔ patient expectations.
This assessment provides the foundation for designing a personalised protocol and selecting the appropriate treatment intensity.

SKIN PREPARATION
Proper preparation promotes a more even peel application and improves procedural control.
Before 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 protocol;
✔ protect particularly sensitive areas such as the lip commissures, nasal folds and eye contour.
The skin must be completely clean and dry before applying the product.

DURING APPLICATION
The peel should be applied using a uniform, organised and carefully controlled technique.
Throughout the procedure, the professional must continuously observe the skin’s 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 appearance of relevant clinical signs;
✔ the need for neutralisation according to the established protocol.
With Lactic Peel 40%, clinical observation becomes particularly important, as epidermal renewal is more active and the skin response may vary depending on phototype, hydration status and the patient’s previous experience with chemical peels.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CLINICAL OBSERVATION
Every skin responds differently to the same chemical peel.
Factors such as hydration, stratum corneum thickness, individual sensitivity and regenerative capacity all influence the clinical response during treatment.
In patients treated with Lactic Peel 40%, professional experience is particularly important for accurately interpreting the skin’s physiological response and determining the optimal time to complete the procedure.
Patient safety should always take priority over treatment intensity.

PEEL NEUTRALISATION
For peels formulated with Lactic Acid, the need for neutralisation depends on the specific characteristics of the formulation and the clinical protocol established by the manufacturer.
Whenever neutralisation is required, it should be carried out once the intended therapeutic objective has been achieved in order to stop the activity of the acid in a controlled manner.
After this step has been completed, the skin should be carefully cleansed before proceeding with the subsequent stages of treatment.
Professionals should always follow the official product instructions to ensure maximum safety and reproducibility of the procedure.
________________________________________
IMMEDIATE POST-TREATMENT CARE
Once the session has been completed, products designed to improve skin comfort, preserve hydration and support the physiological recovery of the skin barrier should be applied.
The professional should advise the patient to:
✔ use appropriate moisturising products;
✔ apply broad-spectrum sun protection every day;
✔ avoid direct sun exposure;
✔ avoid potentially irritating cosmetic products during the first few days;
✔ strictly follow all home-care recommendations.
Post-treatment care forms an essential part of the overall treatment and plays a decisive role in optimising the final results.
________________________________________
PATIENT FOLLOW-UP
Clinical evaluation does not end when the treatment session is completed.
Follow-up appointments allow the professional to assess:
✔ the progress of epidermal renewal;
✔ recovery of the skin barrier;
✔ skin hydration levels;
✔ treatment tolerance;
✔ the clinical response achieved;
✔ the need to modify the protocol;
✔ planning of the next treatment session.
Each review provides essential information for personalising the patient’s therapeutic progression and deciding whether the protocol should be maintained, intensified or modified.
________________________________________
CLINICAL DOCUMENTATION
It is recommended that every procedure be documented through:
✔ updated medical records;
✔ informed consent where appropriate;
✔ standardised clinical photographs;
✔ concentration used;
✔ exposure time;
✔ skin response observed during treatment;
✔ complementary products used;
✔ home-care recommendations.
Accurate documentation facilitates clinical follow-up, improves treatment continuity and enhances the overall quality of patient care.

PROFESSIONAL CHECKLIST
Before concluding the session, confirm that:
☐ A complete clinical assessment was performed.
☐ The skin was properly prepared.
☐ The peel was applied evenly.
☐ The skin response was monitored throughout the procedure.
☐ Neutralisation was carried out whenever required by the protocol.
☐ Appropriate post-treatment care was provided.
☐ The patient received home-care instructions.
☐ The next clinical review was scheduled.
A systematic workflow promotes safer procedures and more consistent results.

GOOD CLINICAL PRACTICE
The application of Lactic Peel 40% should always be part of professional practice based on:
✔ individualised diagnosis;
✔ personalised treatment protocols;
✔ appropriate therapeutic progression;
✔ respect for the skin barrier;
✔ preservation of physiological skin hydration;
✔ continuous clinical observation;
✔ rigorous documentation;
✔ ongoing clinical follow-up.
These principles make it possible to perform highly safe, reproducible procedures aligned with modern evidence-based aesthetic medicine.
