 For 1-2 weeks post procedure your skin will experience symptoms of sunburn (redness) and peeling.

Don’t wax anything where the treatment is performed including eyebrows for 2-3 weeks post procedure, if you wax it will tear the skin.
After your procedure. Do not continually touch your skin unless you are performing your aftercare routine.Do not sweat or go swimming until 3-7 days have past from time of completed peeling.
You can still wear makeup post procedure during scabbing as the top layer of skin is inactive and forms a barrier between pollutants.
 If you have work/uni that requires some outdoor activities you must wear a brimmed hat, sunnies and slather your SPF on and actively persist to avoid the sun. Even if you are indoors you still must wear SPF as light rays bounce off surfaces. If you can visibly see in front of you— there is presence of UV light that will damage your skin.

Aftercare for this type of procedure with downtime must be purchased from the Double Bay Cosmeceuticals Line.

Aftercare can look like this: Cleanser ($89), Serum($129) and Moisturiser($89-$149). These products will be your new regular skincare routine wth your own desired SPF. There is also a mini kit of $249 which lasts 3 weeks.

These products are formulation glass skin active products perfected with the correct amounts of humectants, occlusives and emollients for each skin type and concern. They have no fragrance phalates, are vegan, and cruelty free. It is imperative only Double Bay Cosmeceuticals is used post procedure to achieve an effective treatment. Use of other skincare may result in worse condition due to unknown formulation contraindications.

Don’t Forget to change your pillow case when you sleep after a skin procedure.

After 2-4 Weeks of the 1st Session Depending on Condition of Your Skin. Most before and afters are after 1 session.

You can't wear makeup the same day after the procedure as you need to leave on the solution for 6 hours. But the next day you can but make sure the makeup is PEG free.

This type of treatment can be performed every 10-12 weeks depending on the skin type.

We recommend 1-5 sessions until the skin is cleared and in-between we can perform 4 weeks from your initial CO2 other treatments to target other concerns.

For Heavily Pigmented Hyperpigmentation Thats Not Melasma (hormonal pigmentation) You should combine this with Six Star peel.

For Wrinkles and Indented Skin we recommend combining for Mesotherapy and or HIFU.

Post treatment your skin will be flushed due to proteins of your skin reacting with acids to help desquamate the skin. This is apart of the process and can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days due to increased collagen production (what we want for plump skin).
Side Effects of this treatment come from improper aftercare.

Improper SPF Application: SPF still needs to be worn indoors and on cloudy days as there is still a presence of UV radiation. SPF needs to be applied every 2 hours during peak UV times.

Peeling the Skin Manually instead of letting it Peel on its own: this will peel into deeper layers of the skin which will cause pigmentation.

When proper aftercare is followed you will have an easy and successful treatment.

You should use the at home peel kit once a month as part of the skin cell cycle every 4-6 weeks and maintain your normal skincare routine if you are unable to make it to the clinic every 1.5-3 months.

Otherwise make sure to schedule your maintenance appointments in advance every 1.5-2 months to keep up your youthful glass skin.
