Fotopeel RETIFLASH

The FotoPeel procedure consists of two steps: IPL photorejuvenation and chemical peeling using retinol and other acids. Combining these two powerful treatments enhances skin rejuvenation results and improves overall skin condition.

Indications for the FotoPeel Procedure:

  • Pigmentation spots
  • Skin redness
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Enlarged pores
  • Skin laxity
  • Fine lines
  • Aging skin

 

What Happens During the FotoPeel RETIFLASH Procedure?

The procedure begins with IPL photorejuvenation, which reduces pigmentation and redness while stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. Skin tone is visibly improved.

Next, an acid peel is applied to the skin. The chemical peel accelerates cell renewal, smooths skin texture, reduces inflammation, brightens pigmentation spots, and evens out the complexion.
The retinol-based peel gives an instant glow to the skin.

When Will I See Results and What is the Recovery Time?

The final result becomes visible within 3 to 4 weeks.
Recovery time is about 1 week.
Immediately after the treatment, redness and a mild burning sensation are normal and usually subside within a few hours.
The skin may feel drier for several days and develop pigment crusts, which will naturally flake off. During this time, we recommend intensive nourishment and hydration.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines for FotoPeel:

  • Contraindications include:
  • Antibiotic treatment (must wait 2 weeks after the last dose)

Post-Treatment Aftercare Instructions:

  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours after the procedure 
  • Avoid saunas and swimming pools for 2 weeks
  • Use SPF 50 sunscreen for at least 2 weeks
  • Until the skin is fully healed, apply skin-repairing creams (e.g., Burnshield, Cicabio, Bepanthen) to soothe burning sensations and support recovery
  • To reduce heat sensation, apply a cold compress (do not use one from the freezer)
  • If you wish to undergo other facial procedures within 2 weeks of FotoPeel, consult your specialist first
