Question 6

What's the difference between clinical and home-care products?

Accepted Answer

Clinical products are professional-strength formulations designed for in-clinic treatments by trained professionals. They contain higher concentrations of active ingredients and require proper training for application. Home-care products are maintenance formulations suitable for client use between clinic visits, with gentler concentrations designed for daily use.

Question 7

How should I store Prodermic products?

Accepted Answer

Most products should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight at temperatures between 15-25°C. Some products may require refrigeration — check individual product labels for specific storage instructions. Always keep products sealed when not in use.

Question 8

What is the shelf life of your products?

Accepted Answer

Unopened products typically have a shelf life of 24-36 months from the date of manufacture. Once opened, most products should be used within 6-12 months. The exact expiration date is printed on each product. For peels and clinical-grade products, we recommend using within 6 months of opening.

Question 9

Can I layer multiple Prodermic products?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many of our products are designed to work together in a complete protocol. We recommend following our prescribed layering guidelines for optimal results. As a general rule: apply thinnest consistency first, wait for absorption, then apply heavier products. Avoid combining multiple active-heavy products (like peels) in the same treatment.

Question 10

Do you provide training for your products?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer comprehensive training resources including protocol guides, video tutorials, and webinars for professional partners. Advanced training sessions are available for new product launches and specialized treatments. Contact us to access our professional education portal.

Question 23

What is the best chemical peel for melasma?

Accepted Answer

For melasma treatment, we recommend starting with Prodermic 565 (Gentle Melasma) for sensitive or first-time patients, then progressing to Prodermic 580 (Yellow Peel) — our bestselling quad-acid depigmentation protocol combining Retinol 20%, Glycolic Acid 30%, Lactic Acid 20%, and Kojic Acid 10%. For treatment-resistant melasma, Prodermic 612 (Cosmelan Forte) with TCA 15% provides deeper intervention. All melasma protocols work best with 4–6 sessions at 14-day intervals.

Question 24

Which chemical peel is best for acne and acne scars?

Accepted Answer

For active acne, Prodermic 460 (Jessner Protocol) with Resorcinol 14%, Lactic Acid 14%, and Salicylic Acid 14% is the gold standard. For mild acne, start with Prodermic S15 (Salicylic 15%) or S30 (Salicylic 30%) single-agent peels. For post-acne hyperpigmentation (PIH), Prodermic 545 (Acne + Bright) combines acne-clearing with brightening agents. Sensitive acne patients respond well to Prodermic 475 (Mandelic Acid 20% + Salicylic Acid 15%).

Question 25

How do chemical peels work on the skin?

Accepted Answer

Chemical peels use controlled acid application to remove damaged outer skin layers, triggering regeneration. Superficial peels (glycolic, lactic) target the epidermis for brightening and texture. Medium-depth peels (TCA, combination acids) reach the papillary dermis for pigmentation and fine lines. Prodermic uses multi-acid formulations that target multiple pathways simultaneously — for example, combining tyrosinase inhibitors (kojic acid) with exfoliants (glycolic acid) and retinoids for synergistic depigmentation.

Question 26

Are chemical peels safe for Indian skin types (Fitzpatrick IV-VI)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when properly selected and applied by trained dermatologists. Indian skin (Fitzpatrick III–V) responds excellently to chemical peels but requires careful protocol selection to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). We recommend starting with gentler formulations like Prodermic 565 or 550, and progressing based on skin response. All Prodermic combo peels include specific Fitzpatrick range guidelines and session protocols designed for darker skin types.

Question 27

What is the difference between a glycolic peel and a lactic peel?

Accepted Answer

Glycolic acid (smallest AHA molecule) penetrates deeply for aggressive resurfacing — ideal for photoaging, texture, and stubborn pigmentation. Prodermic offers G30, G50, and G70 at increasing concentrations. Lactic acid (larger molecule) provides gentler hydrating exfoliation — better for sensitive skin, first-time patients, and mild pigmentation. Prodermic offers L60 and L80. For most clinical scenarios, combination peels outperform single-agent peels by targeting multiple skin pathways simultaneously.

Question 28

How many chemical peel sessions does a patient need?

Accepted Answer

Most Prodermic protocols require 4–8 sessions spaced 10–14 days apart, depending on the condition. Melasma typically needs 6–8 sessions for visible improvement. Acne responds in 4–6 sessions. Brightening and glow treatments show results in 3–4 sessions. Maintenance peels every 4–6 weeks help sustain results. Each Prodermic product includes a specific session protocol with recommended intervals, contact times, and progression guidelines.

Question 29

What is the downtime after a chemical peel?

Accepted Answer

Downtime varies by peel depth. Superficial peels (glycolic, lactic, brightening peels) have minimal downtime — mild redness for 2–4 hours, mild flaking for 1–2 days. Medium-depth combination peels (Yellow Peel, Cosmelan) may cause visible peeling for 3–5 days. Prodermic REST.01 Recovery Balm is designed to accelerate barrier recovery post-peel. All Prodermic protocols include a neutralization step (NEUT.01) and post-peel care instructions to minimize downtime.

Question 30

What is a yellow peel and how is it different from other peels?

Accepted Answer

A yellow peel is a retinoid-based medium-depth chemical peel — named for its characteristic yellow color from retinol. Prodermic 580 (Yellow Peel) combines Retinol 20% with Glycolic Acid 30%, Lactic Acid 20%, and Kojic Acid 10% in a quad-acid system. Unlike single-agent peels, the yellow peel targets four biochemical pathways simultaneously: tyrosinase inhibition, epidermal turnover, melanin dispersion, and antioxidant protection. It is our bestselling protocol for melasma and stubborn hyperpigmentation.
