Composition
| Ingredient | Concentration | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Glycolic Acid (20%) | Primary keratolytic — disrupts intercellular bonds for controlled exfoliation, stimulates fibroblast activity and collagen remodeling | |
| Arginine (20%) | Amino acid buffer controlling acid penetration depth, supports cellular metabolism and endogenous collagen production | |
| Lactic Acid (20%) | Hydrating AHA that exfoliates the stratum corneum while maintaining moisture barrier — prevents post-peel dehydration | |
| Mandelic Acid (10%) | Large-molecule AHA with slower, more uniform penetration — excellent for sensitive and darker skin types, anti-bacterial | |
| Kojic Acid (5%) | Tyrosinase inhibitor that addresses age-related pigment irregularities and sun spots | |
| Citric Acid | Antioxidant AHA that brightens, adjusts formulation pH, and supports cell turnover at the basal layer |
Indications
- Skin Laxity & Sagging
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles
- Age-Related Dullness
- Rough Texture
- Sun Damage & Photoaging
- Age Spots
Procedure
- 01
Cleanse & Degrease
3–4 minDouble-cleanse with micellar water followed by pre-peel degreasing solution. Apply degreaser with gauze in upward strokes to remove all surface oils and residue.
- Mature skin may be drier — ensure degreasing is thorough but not overly aggressive. Air-dry for 30 seconds.
- 02
Patch Test (First Session)
10 minApply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm. Observe for 10 minutes for any adverse reaction.
- Essential for patients over 50 or those with sensitized/thin skin. Document in patient chart.
- 03
Apply prodermic 560
3–5 minUsing a fan brush, apply a thin, uniform layer. Work systematically: forehead → cheeks → jawline → chin → nasolabial folds. Avoid eyelids and lips. For neck/décolletage: apply after facial assessment.
- Total active: 78% (highest in range). The arginine buffer moderates penetration, making this potent formula well-tolerated. Start conservatively.
- 04
Monitor & Titrate
8–25 minObserve continuously. Target: uniform mild erythema with slight tightening sensation. The six-acid system works synergistically — response builds gradually. Watch for frosting or excessive redness, especially around eyes and nasolabial folds.
- Session 1: 8–12 min. Session 2: 12–18 min. Session 3+: up to 20–25 min. Mature skin may respond faster — titrate carefully.
- 05
Neutralize
3–4 minApply neutralizer (sodium bicarbonate solution or prodermic neutralizer) generously across all treated areas. Remove residue with damp gauze. Rinse with cold water.
- With 6 active agents, thorough neutralization is critical. Double-check neck and jawline areas where product may pool.
- 06
Post-Peel Recovery & Discharge
3–5 minApply recovery balm or peptide-enriched moisturizer. Layer with SPF 50+ sunscreen. Provide written post-care instructions with emphasis on collagen-building home care.
- Recommend prodermic CPT.sr (Peptide Serum) for home care to synergize with in-clinic collagen stimulation.
Post-procedure
| Day 0 | Peel Day Recovery balm applied. No actives, makeup, or sun exposure for remainder of day. Skin may feel tight — this is normal. |
| Days 1–2 | Tightness Phase Skin taut and dry. Gentle cleanser 2x daily. Rich moisturizer or peptide cream 3–4x daily. SPF 50+ mandatory. |
| Days 3–5 | Peeling Phase Moderate flaking expected (hexa-acid formula produces more visible peeling). Do NOT force peeling. Intensive moisturization. |
| Days 5–7 | Renewal Fresh, firmer skin emerging. Resume light makeup. May begin peptide serum (CPT.sr) on Day 7. |
| Days 7–21 | Between Sessions SPF 50+ daily. Peptide serum AM/PM for collagen support. Avoid AHAs and retinoids until next scheduled session. |
Session plan
| Session | Contact time |
|---|---|
| Session 1 | 8–12 min |
| Session 2 | 12–18 min |
| Session 3–4 | 18–22 min |
| Session 5+ | 22–25 min (max) |
After completing the initial anti-aging program, 1 maintenance session every 6–8 weeks. Combine with prodermic CPT.sr (Peptide Serum) and RET.sr (Retinol Serum) for comprehensive anti-aging home care.
