Pre-Care

Incorporate spicules twice a week into a weekly routine for two weeks prior to peel (Bioherb 50 or O2 Tox). Discontinue all retinoids, exfoliating actives, physical exfoliants, benzoyl peroxide and other acne medication a week prior to treatment. Avoid heavy moisturizers before treatment. For clients who are prone to PIH, assess whether this is the right treatment, and at minimum they should use tyrosinase inhibitors prior to peel.

In Treatment Experience

Client should expect to feel a prickling, poking sensation which will last up to 72 hours. Erythema is normal post peel. Expect it to get progressively more pronounced within the first 24 hours.

Post Treatment Care

For best results do not cleanse the skin or apply any moisturizer/SPF for 24 hours. about sun exposure, we recommend booking spicule treatments later in the day. After 24 hours cleanse with a gentle cleanser and use a light moisturizer if needed. If the client is uncomfortable we recommend cold compresses. Avoid exercise and excessive heat (saunas, yoga, steam rooms) for the first 72 hours. Do not exfoliate for at least 7 days post peel. Avoid the sun, and wear SPF.

Treatment Cadence

Can be performed 4 to 6 weeks after peeling has finished *not from treatment date

Prepare skin by cleansing with KrX Pre Cleansing Oil as a pre-cleanse followed by KrX Pre Peel Cleanser.

Treatment Steps

Mix the Green Sea Peel ampoule with the activator in a bowl.
Apply the mixture to the skin using a fan brush, spreading evenly across the treatment area. The peel can be applied to most parts of the body.
Tap the spicules into the skin to begin embedding them into the epidermis for approx 2 minutes. Proceed with a light pressure massage. Light protocol 2-3 minutes, Medium Protocol: 3-4, Deep Protocol: 4 to 5 minutes. *Pressure should always remain light.
Allow the Green Sea Peel to sit on the skin as a mask for 10 to 15 minutes.
Apply a sheet mask or soothing gel (Corthe Ice Soothing Gel or Dermathod’s Healer Gel) over the mask to help loosen the peel. Let sit for a few minutes. Gently remove the peel with cold water—avoid scrubbing or using hot water.

Finishing Steps

We recommend avoiding moisturizer or sunscreen immediately post peel. Please note, if you choose to apply moisturizer and SPF, the treatment will still be effective.
