Unideep erythema

Patients often ask about make-up. The general principle is that it is possible to wear make-up, even when the skin is flaking, after an epidermal peel or a peel to the basal layer, but it is unlikely to look good. After a peel to the papillary or reticular dermis, make-up is usually allowed, and even recommended, on the 8th day. Patients who do not like wearing make-up should be warned of the likelihood of post-peel erythema, depending on the depth of the treatment. Some patients are thus ruled out, as their professional lives do not allow any visible erythema or they cannot stand the idea of wearing make-up. In these cases, it is recommended to repeat an Easy TCA peel four times rather than use Unideep . ...

Unideep is a TCA peel to the papillary dermis. Adapted from Easy TCA technology, it consists of a peel solution and a post-peel mask. Thanks to the post-peel mask, the erythema following the peel does not last as long as the erythema after a peel with TCA-SAS to the same depth. The erythema following Unideep lasts around 5-8 days (Figure 37.12), and the only treatment that it requires is an application of antioxidant cream (e.g. Renutriv ACE Lipoic Complex ) and Vaseline (see Chapter 23). If there is persistent localized erythema, there might be a local complication, and treatment is necessary. Effective sun protection must be used.
