CHAPTER 8: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS » PATIENTS

Another way is to understand the consistency and action of each of our products. For example:
1. Cleanse (with TRI-PHASE CLEANSER or CLR FOAM CLEANSER) first to remove surface impurities, make-
up and oils.
2. Exfoliation (with MICRODERM EXFOLIANT) comes after cleansing to gently remove dead skin cells –
preparing the skin for Dermapen treatments or enhanced infusion of your serums.
3. Serums are ‘water’ to ‘water-gel’ like consistencies that are light texture in nature and designed to absorb
into the skin (such as ANTIOXIDANT COCKTAIL and HYLA ACTIVE). These potent serums should be
shielded by a corrector or moisturiser.
4. Correctors are generally smooth oil-based lipids encapsulating highly active ingredients designed to be delivered
deeper with the aid of our HylaFuse delivery complex – these are NON NEGOTIABLES in a skincare regime.
5. Moisturisers are luxurious creams designed to engulf the skin with moisture and provide a protective
barrier, leaving the skin surface radiant in appearance.
6. Final protection – COVER RECOVER SPF 30 is available in multiple shades is an all in one anti-ageing,
protective sunscreen and foundation in one – the daily NON NEGOTIABLE to skin protection.
Q Can I use COVER RECOVER SPF 30 camouflage make-up straight after a treatment or should I
let my skin breathe?
A. COVER RECOVER is unique in that it has been specifically designed to be applied straight after a
rejuvenation treatment to camouflage any redness or irritation, while at the same time working to hydrate and
promote a healing feeling to the skin. This amazing breathable product is so gentle and pure, it does not need
to be washed off after treatments, and is suitable for ongoing daily use.
Q Why do your products contain SPF 30 rather than a higher measure, such as SPF 50+?
A. It’s a scientific fact that SPF 50+ only offers marginally better protection than SPF 30. SPF 50+ filters
out 98% of UVB radiation, while SPF 30 blocks out 96.7% of UVB.20 Our COVER RECOVER foundation
contains SPF 30, which effectively blocks out harmful rays while being incredibly gentle and kind on your
skin. To include a higher SPF could mean greater percentages of chemical ingredients, which may be linked
to hormone disruption, trigger allergic reactions, and potentially expose you to more free radical damage.
COVER RECOVER uses non-chemical mineral derived sunscreen.
Q Can I use Dp Dermaceuticals products with other skincare products?
A. The ingredients we use in our formulations and the way they work to target specific areas have been
chosen so that every product in our range works together to improve the look and feel of your skin. By using
Dp Dermaceuticals exclusively you will get the most benefit from our synergistic products. Our starter kits are
a great introduction to a particular family of products that work together to help your particular skin concern.
Q Are your products suitable for all skin types and conditions?
A. Yes, they are suitable for even the most sensitive of skin types and contain ingredients that can help with
the symptoms of acne, pigmentation, redness (rosacea), eczema and psoriasis.
Q Do they contain nut products?
A. Some of our products contain olive, shea, jojoba or almond oil which are derived from either nuts or seeds.
Check with your clinician for further information. Each product has been clinically washed to ensure purity and
to reduce any possible reaction to nature’s ingredients.
Q I have had a Dermapen treatment a few days ago, and am using your recommended
Dp Dermaceuticals products, but my skin appears ‘older’?
A. After a Dermapen treatment or when starting a new skincare range which contains a high quantity of
‘actives’, your skin will go through a renewal phase. These periods are called ‘inflammation’ and ‘proliferation’.
During an inflammation phase, this stimulation releases growth factors to start the new collagen production
process. During proliferation, a period of possible dryness, itchiness or irritation may occur, as the redundant
cells are rising to the surface and the skin is purging (e.g. acne may seem worse for a short period of time, or
pigmentation may appear darker 5–10 days post treatment). This is normal and a positive response. If irritation
continues, cease using the prescribed corrective, allow skin to settle, and re-introduce every second night. In
a short period of time, your skin will appear younger looking and more radiant. 89
