And Post-Treatment Recommendations

Contraindications

What to Expect

Patients will likely experience a stinging sensation as the peel activates on the skin. Immediately after the peel, your skin can be pink or red. This is temporary and will fade in 1-2 hours.

Pre-Care Instructions (one week before your peel):

Pre-Care Instructions (three days before you peel):

• Cease using any products containing Retinol

Post-treatment Recommendations:

• Rinse skin gently (with cool water only) and pat dry/do not rub
• DO NOT PICK OR PULL THE SKIN, as scarring can result
• Avoid harsh cleansers or washcloths
• Patients with hypersensitivity to the sun should take extra precautions to guard against exposure immediately following the procedure as there may be more sensitivity following the treatment
• Do not have any other facial treatment for at least a week after your peel
• Daily Skincare Routine:
  1. When washing your face, use a gentle, non-soap cleanser
  2. Cease the use of exfoliating scrubs for at least one week after your peel
