Q.

 

How many treatments are needed?

A.

   A typical patient receives 6 treatments in 2 week intervals to complete a series.

Q.

 

How long does a patient typically continue receiving treatments?

A.

   After the initial 6 treatments, a typical patient returns on a monthly basis for maintenance. 

Some may return every few months as needed. This is usually determined by the physician or 

technician.

Q.

 

Can the Gio Peel be used on all skin types?

A.

   Absolutely. Unlike acid peels that can cause hyperpigmentation on darker skin, microdermabra

-

sion is safe for all skin types.

Q.

 

Can the Gio Peel be used on pregnant women?

A.

   Yes. Microdermabrasion is safe for pregnant or lactating women.

Q.

 

Can the Gio Peel be used on acne patients?

A.

   Yes. A series of treatments will actually benefit acne more than the use of topical products.

Q.

 

Can you treat cystic acne with the Gio Peel?

A.

   Cystic acne should be treated with an oral or topical antibiotic prior to beginning microdermabra

-

sion treatments. The physician should determine when treatment can begin.

Q.

 

Should a patient with Rosacea receive treatments?

A.

   Active Rosacea should never be treated. If the condition is calm, the patient can be treated at 

the request of the physician. Normal #12 crystals should always be used on patients with Ro

-

sacea.

Q.

 

Can ingrown hairs be treated?

A.

   Yes. This procedure is excellent for patients with ingrown hairs and for patients undergoing 

hair removal treatments. The Gio Peel keeps the hair follicle unclogged between treatments.

Q.

 

Should a patient be exposed to sun immediately following a treatment?

A.

   No. A three day waiting period is important to prevent sun damage to the skin. Also, always 

apply a sunblock of SPF25 or more.
