pHformula In the pHfomula range, all the products and treatments are safe to use on Fitzpatrick Phototype VI, due to the delivery system (PH-DVC™) in the professional line as well as the active homecare
products. PH-DVC™ ensures that the actives are delivered at the correct depth in the skin without causing trauma or irritation to the stratum corneum. Great care is given not to cause inflammatory responses. It is of importance to treat and approach these Phototypes with a slow and gradual treatment prescription. The pHformula skin specialist tests the skin with a specialised product – SP complex – which will indicate the sensitivity / inflammatory response at the given time. The SP test is performed before continuing with resurfacing in every treatment, as the skin sensitivity may change due to environmental (UV radiation, pollution) and intrinsic influences (diet, lifestyle). Once the skin sensitivity levels are known, the skin specialist will be able to determine the correct resurfacing product and strength that the skin can tolerate in that treatment. The homecare prescription will work synergistically with the professional resurfacing treatments and is customised to each client’s concerns and needs.
