The treatment experience
We start with a thorough cleanse of the face, followed by the AlphaRet peel applied with gauze for a maximum of 3 minutes. The peel is then removed and your skin cleansed again. The treatment is completed with the application of SkinBetter Science Alto Defence serum and a rich moisturiser. The entire treatment takes approximately 30 minutes.
It's best for
- Accelerating the natural process of exfoliation
- Reducing visual signs of ageing and sun damage
- Improving moisture retention and increasing hydration
"An advanced anti ageing formulation, a metabolic retinol peel that helps fine lines and improve pigmentation from the inside out."
- Paige, Registered Nurse
Pre and post care
Best results are evident 10 days after the treatment and have a cumulative effect. Your skin will be noticeably smoother, with an improvement in tone and texture.
Pre-Treatment: Your skin must be prepped with one of our Vitamin A serums prior to having an AlphaRet Professional Peel.
Do not have facial hair waxed or lasered 48 hrs prior to treatment and avoid facial shaving 8 hrs before treatment.
Please talk to your healthcare professional if you have had any recent procedures to confirm suitability.
Post-Treatment: There is little to no downtime and you can resume normal activities immediately. However we advise you to avoid strenuous exercise or swimming for 24 hours after treatment.
We recommend using SkinBetter Science Alto Defence Antioxidant Serum twice daily after the peel as it soothes and calms the skin. The SkinBetter Science A-Team Duo Kit is a simple 2 step kit suitable for preparing patients for in clinic treatments. It contains Alto Defence & AlphaRet Overnight Cream.
We always recommend the use of sunscreen to prevent sun damage to the skin. Sunscreen with SPF 30 or above should be used daily. If you are under the sun for prolonged periods of time, sunscreen needs to be reapplied at least once every 2-4 hours. Do not use retinoid or retinol containing products such as AlphaRet or any other Vitamin A derivatives for 5 days post treatment unless otherwise directed by your healthcare professional.
