7 Days Before Your Appointment:

  • Discontinue Retinol, Tretinoin, or any topical exfoliants (like glycolic/salicylic acid).
  • Avoid harsh or active skincare products that may cause sensitivity or dryness.
  • Limit sun exposure and tanning beds your skin must not be sunburned.
  • Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements (like aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or vitamin E), unless prescribed by your physician.

3–5 Days Before:

  • Avoid waxing, threading, or depilatory creams on the treatment area.
  • No facial laser, chemical peels, or aggressive exfoliation.
  • Hydrate! Drink plenty of water to keep your skin plump and healthy.

24 Hours Before:

  • Clean skin only: Do not apply makeup, heavy moisturizers, or self-tanner the day of treatment.

Post-Treatment Expectations

You will leave treatment with the peel on your skin. Please leave this on for at least 8 hours. After 8 hours, wash with a gentle cleanser and apply gentle moisturizer. If going outside after washing, reapply SPF. You may use makeup after cleansing. If itchiness occurs take 25mg-50mg of Benadryl to help.

Post-Treatment Aftercare

Days Two to Seven: Two to three days after treatment the skin may feel tight and more dry than normal. Please stay away from any active ingredients including AHAs, BHAs (salicylic acid,benzoyl peroxide), retinol and exfoliants. Light flaking may occur. Continue with a gentle routine including gentle cleanser, gentle moisturizer, and SPF during the day. If any area is particularly dry apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly over that area at night.

Day After:
Continue your normal routine except for active ingredients as stated above.

Day Eight: Skin is fully healed and you will notice a brighter, even complexion. Repeat every few months or as your provider recommends.

More Tips:
AVOID washing face/treated area for at least 6 hours. Preferably, wait until the morning after treatment.

  • If you feel itchy the first evening, take 400mg-800mg of ibuprofen and/or 25m-50mg of Benadryl to help.
  • AVOID strenuous exercise until the peel has been removed.
  • AVOID direct sunlight exposure for 1-2 days following treatment.

  • Treatment Frequency Recommendations
