Beginner’s Guide to Fusion Peels
Fusion Peels are medium-strength chemical exfoliation treatments designed to address multiple skin concerns, including uneven tone, fine lines, acne, and dullness. This unique formulation typically combines Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), and natural fruit enzymes to promote skin rejuvenation.
Key Benefits
Exfoliation: Ingredients such as glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids work together to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve skin texture.
Brightening: Natural fruit enzymes help reduce hyperpigmentation, promoting a more even skin tone.
Anti-Aging: Stimulates collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Acne Treatment: Salicylic acid penetrates pores to reduce active acne and prevent future breakouts.
Suitability
Fusion Peels are suitable for all skin types and tones. They are especially effective for individuals with multiple skin concerns. However, new users should always perform a patch test 24 hours prior to full application.
Application Guidelines
Preparation:
Cleanse the skin with a gentle, oil-free cleanser and pat dry.
Avoid shaving the treatment area and discontinue the use of retinoids or exfoliants 2 days prior to the peel.
Application:
Apply a small amount of the peel to a gauze pad and smooth over the treatment area, avoiding the eyes, lips, and nostrils.
Allow the peel to set for 4–6 minutes.
For more intensive exfoliation, layering can be done (up to 3 layers), depending on skin tolerance.
Neutralization:
Apply a neutralizing solution to stop the peel’s activity.
Rinse thoroughly with cool water and gently pat dry.
Post-Application Care:
Apply a soothing serum (such as hyaluronic acid) followed by a gentle moisturizer.
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily.
Post-Peel Expectations
Peeling: Mild flaking may occur between days 3 to 7 as dead skin sheds naturally.
Sensitivity: Skin will be more photosensitive; daily sun protection is essential.
Avoidance: Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and other irritating products for at least 5 days post-treatment.
Precautions
Medical Conditions: Consult a healthcare provider if you have skin conditions or are taking medications.
Pregnancy and Nursing: Seek medical advice before use.
Allergies: Do not use if allergic to any ingredients in the peel.
Post-Treatment Activities: Avoid heavy exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for 48 hours after the peel.
By following these guidelines and precautions, individuals can safely introduce Fusion Peels into their skincare routine to achieve a clearer, brighter, and more youthful complexion.
