CHEMICAL PEEL

ABOUT YOUR TREATMENT

Chemical peels improve skin tone, texture, pigmentation, and fine lines by removing damaged outer layers of skin and stimulating cellular renewal.

Peels vary in strength depending on your skin concerns and goals.

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

  • • Discontinue retinol and exfoliating products 5–7 days prior
  • • Avoid waxing or laser treatments for 1 week
  • • Avoid sun exposure
  • • Inform us of cold sores or skin infections

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT

Immediately after:

  • • Mild redness
  • • Tightness
  • • Warm sensation

Within 2–3 days:

  • • Peeling or flaking begins
  • • Skin may appear dry

Peeling typically resolves within 5–7 days.

AFTERCARE

Day 1–2:

  • • Gentle cleanser only
  • • Apply recommended moisturizer
  • • SPF 30+ mandatory

Day 3–7:

  • • Do NOT pick or peel skin
