home care program

Melanopro Peel System includes:

• Day One Peeling Masque (0.5 oz)
• Continuous Resurfacing Cream (1.7 oz)
• UltraCalming Mist (1.7 oz)

Melanopro Peel System contains a rich and comprehensive complex of ingredients that have been developed to support resurfacing, help reduce the appearance of future dark spots, and brighten uneven skin tone. The complex includes Azelaic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, Retinol, Phytic Acid, and Niacinamide. The system can be used alone, or paired within a treatment plan that may include other skin technologies such as chemical peels, lasers, IPL, micro-needling, and dermaplaning. To find out more about possible treatment pairings, please consult the Dermalogica Pro sales and education team.

pre-treatment information

These pre-service guidelines are important to follow to achieve the best results from the service.

• This system is not advised with those with highly sensitive skin, or those who have skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, etc.
• Do not use topical skin care products containing ingredients that may increase skin sensitivity such as retinoids, exfoliants, topical antibiotics, or hydroxy acids one week prior to treatment.
• Avoid Accutane six months prior to service. Consult with your prescribing physician for guidance.
• Avoid waxing, depilatory creams, or electrolysis on face five days prior to treatment.
• Avoid IPL/laser procedures at least two weeks prior to treatment.
• Avoid unprotected sun exposure or sunburn at least two weeks prior to treatment.
• Avoid experimenting with new skin care products 2 weeks before treatment.

patch test recommendations

Patch testing is recommended prior to using the Melanopro Peel System. Patch testing is a way to gauge if a client may be contraindicated to treatment. If a client is contraindicated to Melanopro for other reasons during pre-consultation, they are contraindicated for the patch test, therefore do not proceed.

Day One Peeling Masque and Continuous Resurfacing Cream should be patch tested 24-48 hrs prior to the service to check for allergy and sensitization. It is recommended to conduct this patch test after the full consultation and treatment authorization has been completed and signed.

step-by-step instructions

Cleanse a small area behind the ears with a damp esthetic wipe or cotton.

1. Dispense a small amount of Day One Peeling Masque to cotton swab and apply behind the ear.
2. Dispense a small amount of Continuous Resurfacing Cream to cotton swab and apply behind the ear.

During the patch test, the client may experience a tingling sensation and/or warmth—this is normal. The client should keep the creams on the skin for up to 90 minutes and then remove with water at home. They should monitor the area for 24-48 hours and inform the skin therapist of any skin changes. Watch for signs of extreme redness, rash, swelling or hives. If any of these appear, the client is contraindicated to the Melanopro Peeling System.

Cleanse face with a gentle cleanser, and then let skin dry. Apply Day One Peeling Masque over entire face (stop at jaw line). Use the entire tube; skin should be completely covered. Avoid the lips and eye area and be cautious around the nose and mouth.

Fitzpatrick Skin Type Masque Duration

at-home peel removal

Keep your client for 30 to 45 minutes after the masque has been applied in order to monitor any possible skin responses such as redness and/or burning. Guide your client through the different steps of removal at home, and what to expect during the home care treatment program. Set up appointments (virtual or in-person) to check in on your client’s skin every week, as well as a skin treatment once the home care program has been completed. Instruct your client to keep the masque on their skin for two to seven hours (depending on their skin analysis/skin concern, skin tone, and type). Please note: seven hours is the maximum time allowed for use.*

*If the skin is unable to tolerate the recommended masque leave on time, please remove and contact your skin therapist. It’s best to remove and rinse peel in the shower with cold or lukewarm water. Do not rub with a towel. Use hands to remove, making light fingertip circles on wet skin. This will remove the Peel but avoid any heavy friction, as skin may become more sensitive.

Please explain the following information to your client and give the at-home guide

after peel care (evening of treatment) and day 2

• Do not apply any product (serum, moisturizer, etc.) except for Dermalogica UltraCalming Mist.
• Spray Dermalogica UltraCalming Mist to soothe skin (if skin feels tight or hot). Use as often as needed.

• Instruct clients to apply a nickel-sized amount of the Continuous Resurfacing Cream twice a day (AM and PM) for the first two to three days.
• After starting the cream, the skin may feel stimulated upon application (for the first few days). This feeling should dissipate within 15-20 minutes. If the stimulation is felt longer, please have client consult with their skin professional. They will either suspend the use of the cream for a few days or reduce usage to one daily application.
• If skin feels sensitive, spray Dermalogica UltraCalming Mist to soothe skin. Use as often as needed.
• Apply cream up to three times per day, for up to six weeks (or until entire tube is used).

Skin care professionals: Please note that it is recommended that you stay in daily contact with your client or patient for the first seven days. They are likely to experience flaking and/or sensitivity and they might have questions or need guidance until their skin adjust to the treatment.
