WHY DOES CYNTHIA AESTHETICS REQUIRE HOME SKIN ACCLIMATION PRIOR TO AN ADVANCED TREATMENT?Consider the preparation you’ve put in when readying yourself for a major event – whether it’s a big trip, a marathon, a huge dinner, or an important test, proper preparation in the weeks leading up to a skin transforming treatment is no different. For optimal results, we can’t encourage you strongly enough to adhere to the home program prescribed by your licensed skincare expert. For best results and to reduce the risk of complications, it is mandatory that use the prescribed PCA Clinical Skin Care regimen at home for a minium of 14 days prior to your skin treatment.

PLEASE
Consult your physician before temporarily discontinuing use of any prescription medications. If you are lactating, pregnant, or may become pregnant, consult your physician before receiving advanced peeling treatments.
Your skin is about to turn the corner. Your skin may or may not peel depending on the condition of your skin at the time of treatment. Please understand that the success of your treatment is not predicated on skin peeling. Treatments may cause slight redness, tightness, peeling, flaking or temporary dryness. Redness should subside several hours post treatment. Most clients find it unnecessary, or even undesirable to apply makeup, as the skin will be fresh, smooth and renewed.
Immediately following your peel, your skin is likely to feel strained or tight. This is perfectly normal. It may take 6 or more treatments to target the deeper layers of skin to ultimately loosen stagnant skin cells and reveal a truly brand new complexion. It is imperative that post-peel instructions for home care are followed in detail.
AVOID
Direct sun exposure and excessive heat
