myPEEL FAQS

Q: How often do I need myPROBIOTIC PEEL?
myPROBIOTIC PEELS are graduated treatments and should be administered every 4-6 weeks depending on the condition of your skin. For patients with active acne, a peel is recommended every 2 weeks until acne is under control. Your clinician will create a peel program customized for your skin type and skin conditions.

Q: Are myPROBIOTIC PEELS available for home use?
A: No. myPROBIOTIC PEELS must be administered by your skincare professional.

Q: Are myPROBIOTIC PEELS right for my skin type?
A: myPROBIOTIC PEELS were developed for all skin types. There are two peels, one specifically for AGING and SENSITIVE skin types and a different peel for ACNE. The acne peel is stronger and uses 20% Salycilic Acid plus the probiotic complex. The anti-aging peel uses 20% Lactic Acid plus the probiotic complex. Your clinician will determine your skin type and which peel you will need. We do not recommend myPROBIOTIC PEEL for those with extremely hypersensitive skin.

Q: How long does the treatment take?
A: The duration of the peel is just 15-20 minutes.

Q: Why is it called a peel if I don’t peel?
A: When using acids, there is some peeling involved. The acid in this peel is used as a vehicle to deliver the probiotic complex into the skin. The more layers of the peel applied, the more likely a patient will peel. However, the peeling is very minimal and usually occurs in areas where the patient needs to peel. If you do not experience peeling, it does not mean the peel is not working.

Q: What makes your peel better than other chemical peels?
A: While there is still a need for traditional chemical peeling, myPROBIOTIC PEEL is a new alternative for patients seeking a clinical treatment void of injury, pain or excessive peeling. We’ve opted to utilize new topical probiotics to regenerate new skin from within. This is aligned with our philosophy of using advanced technologies that stimulate the body’s own healing response.

Q: Does myPROBIOTIC PEEL effectively remove stubborn hyperpigmentation?
A: Skin tone and texture is improved but this peel will not remove stubborn pigmentation by itself. Key mybody lightening products will be added to your home care to heighten results.

Q: Can I apply make-up after the peel?
A: After the treatment, the clinician will protect the skin using mybody’s tinted sunscreen PROTECT & SERVE SPF 30. This unique formula acts like a make-up so there is no need to apply foundation or concealer post-peel.

Q: What products should I use after the peel?
A: Each patient will receive 5 days worth of mybody post-care products for FREE. It is important that these are the only products you are using immediately post-peel. Your clinician will also create a mybody skincare regimen to heighten and maintain the results upon finishing your post-care products.

Q: I have medical-grade products already, why do I need to use mybody products after I finish mybody post-peel products?
A: mybody peels have been tested in combination with mybody products. While there are other effective products in the marketplace, the mybody line uses specific ingredients that work synergistically to achieve desired results. The use of liposurfactants, bioemulsion delivery technology as well as avoiding the use of parabens and known xenoestrogens allows mybody products to deliver results while providing healthier solutions for long term use.

Q: Will results be long lasting?
A: Results depend on effective maintenance and will last as long as skin is maintained with the mybody skincare line.

Q: Will my skin be more sensitive after myPROBIOTIC PEEL?
A: The skin will be more sensitive during the peeling process itself. You may experience up to five days of sensitivity until the pH is re-balanced. Immediately after the peel, the skin will appear healthier with a rosy glow. The skin will also feel tighter and slightly tingly or itchy. This feeling quickly dissipates. *Note that the acne peel is a stronger peel than the aging peel and the addition of multiple layers may increase skin sensitivity.

Q: Are there any side effects from the peels?
A: myPROBIOTIC PEELS are very active, purging peels with results that may vary from patient to patient. Results may also vary from peel to peel depending on your lifestyle. While there is virtually no downtime, some patients with more toxic skin may experience 2-7 days of a bumpy, rash-like appearance. This is a healthy process and simply means that the skin is pushing out toxins. After this process subsides, the skin looks and feels healthier and more radiant. If rash worsens, contact your doctor immediately.

Q: Can I exercise after myPROBIOTIC PEEL?
A: We recommend that you avoid exercise or heavy activity for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
