Progress MD's 2 Step Peel Program
Step 1 | The Consult, New patient Exam & The Peel
Consultations are a great place to start if you don't know what peel or regimen to begin with. They are with our Licensed Esthetician's who are working under the delegation of our Medical Director, following specific protocols, who have been trained by PCA & VI Aesthetics to provide these Medical Grade Chemical Peels below.
Step 1 | Post Care Kit
Both of these great lines offer a Post Peel kit that has essential items needed for you once your peel has been applied in our office. Sunscreen, Hydrocortisone Creams, and other items are helpful post receiving the peels as well as during the peeling process over the following days. These are included with all peels to set you up for success before we see you for your 2 week follow-up.
Step 2 | 2 Week Follow-Up & Dermaplaning
This is a great simple treatment included for free in your 2 week Medical Grade Peel Follow-up Appointment. Dermaplaning removes the dead skin cells off the outermost layer of skin, resulting in healthier looking skin. This treatment is great for someone who is looking for a regular way to maintain their skin or that may have blonde, white, gray or red thin facial hair that does not respond to laser hair removal. Removal of this outer layer of dead skin cells and fine hair enhances the penetration and speed of your personal skin care regimen as the dead skin cells are in the way of the skin care products you use. This is also a great time to discuss skin care regimens and methods to preserve results and maintain them.
