Pre-Treatment Instructions for Skin Peel

To prepare your skin for the peel and to ensure the best outcome, please follow these pre-treatment guidelines:

  1. Avoid Exfoliation:

    • Refrain from using any exfoliating products (such as scrubs, acids, or retinol) for 5-7 days before your peel. This helps to prevent skin irritation.

  2. Sun Exposure:

    • Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least one week before your treatment. Excessive sun exposure can increase your risk of irritation or hyperpigmentation.

  3. Hydrate Your Skin:

    • Ensure your skin is well-hydrated by using a gentle, hydrating moisturizer in the days leading up to your treatment. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin healthy and hydrated.

  4. Discontinue Strong Skincare Products:

    • Discontinue the use of retinoids, retinol, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and other active ingredients 5-7 days before your peel to minimize the risk of irritation.

  5. Avoid Hair Removal:

    • Do not wax, shave, or use depilatory creams on the treatment area for at least 48 hours before your skin peel, as this may irritate the skin.

  6. Medications:

    • Let your provider know if you are taking any prescription skincare products, acne medications, or have any medical conditions that could affect the treatment.

  7. Consultation:

    • We will assess your skin during your consultation to ensure that a skin peel is the right treatment for you. Please inform us of any changes to your health, medications, or skincare routine during your consultation.

Post-Treatment Aftercare for Skin Peel

After your skin peel, it’s essential to take special care of your skin to promote healing and achieve the best results. Please follow these aftercare instructions:

  1. Redness and Peeling:

    • Redness, mild swelling, and flaking are common after a skin peel. This is a normal part of the process and typically subsides within 3-7 days.

    • Do not pick, scratch, or peel any flaky or peeling skin as this can lead to scarring or hyperpigmentation.

  2. Avoid Sun Exposure:

    • Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun post-peel. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 7-10 days and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day, even indoors, as UV rays can penetrate windows.

  3. Gentle Skincare:

    • Use only gentle, non-irritating cleansers and moisturizers for the first 5-7 days after your peel. Avoid products containing retinol, acids (such as AHAs or BHAs), and any exfoliants.

  4. Hydration:

    • Keep your skin well-hydrated by applying a nourishing moisturizer frequently to soothe and repair the skin. Drink plenty of water to support the healing process.

  5. No Heavy Exercise:

    • Avoid strenuous activities, heavy exercise, saunas, and hot showers for 24-48 hours post-treatment, as sweating and heat can irritate your skin.

  6. Makeup:

    • Avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment. If you need to apply makeup, choose gentle, non-comedogenic products.

  7. Avoid Other Treatments:

    • Do not undergo any other facial treatments, waxing, or laser treatments for at least 2 weeks after your peel.

  8. Follow-Up:

    • Depending on the strength of your peel and your specific skin concerns, you may require a series of treatments for optimal results. We will schedule follow-up sessions based on your progress.

  9. Sensitive Skin:

    • Your skin may remain sensitive for up to a week post-peel. Be gentle with your skincare routine and avoid harsh environmental factors like wind or cold.
