peel pre & post care

Please discontinue products containing any exfoliating agents (retinoic acid, tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic/salicylic acids, astringents, etc.) 48 hours before treatment.

If you have a history of herpes or cold sores, it is highly recommend to take a course of anti-viral medication pre and post treatment. This will prevent an outbreak of cold sores if you are prone to them. Cold sores can also break out on people who are not prone to them, but who have sensitive skin.

Allow at least (twelve) 12 hours after autoimmune therapies before having a peel.

Stop any type of depilatory treatments (waxing, depilatory creams) to the area of treatment, 2 weeks prior to and 2 weeks after your peel.

Avoid UV exposure including tanning beds as well as self-tanner for 7 days prior to visit.

Stop electrolysis, and any type of laser treatments (laser hair removal, IPL) to the area of treatment, 2-4 weeks before and 2-4 weeks after your peel or as instructed.

Plan to NOT exercise vigorously for the next 3-4 days after treatment. Avoid excessive perspiration, as sweating as it may induce water blisters and excessive internal warming. This can induce post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. (no hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms)
