Prep/Post Care
To get the most out of your treatment make sure to follow the following instructions:
​
​
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO AFTER A FACIAL
​
-
Go fresh faced
-
​Although you can apply makeup right after your facial, we recommend you wait.
-
-
Watch your products
-
​In the first 72 hours after your facial, you should avoid any topical medications like Retin-A or tretinoin that can inflame new skin cells. Over the counter acne medications should be avoided. We also recommend you avoid beauty products formulated with glycolic acid or similar ingredients that exfoliate the skin. Avoid all exfoliants for 7 days post treatment.
-
-
Stay out of the sun
-
Tanning during the first 72 hours will injure fresh skin and neglect some beneficial treatment effects. Please wear your sunscreen everyday!
-
-
Avoid exercise
-
Please avoid working out for at least 24 hours after your treatment. Sweat and other pollutants can cause or worsen irritation in the skin.
-
CHEMICAL PEEL AFTERCARE
Do:
-
Let your skin peel naturally
-
Use SPF
-
Use gentle products
-
Moisturize for comfort
Don’t:
-
Get additional treatments for 2 weeks (waxing, Botox, filler, or any other treatment that could be abrasive to the skin)
-
Overheat your skin.
-
Saunas, hot tubs, tanning beds, and strenuous workouts that lead to excessive sweating can irritate your skin after a peel and potentially cause an infection that extends recovery time. Excess heat can increase circulation to your face and intensify side effects, so stay cool for a few days after treatment. Another side effect of excessive heat is a change to your skin pigment, so stay out of the heat to prevent discoloration.
-
-
Exfoliate.
-
A chemical peel exfoliates your skin, so using exfoliating products to remove more skin can cause damage and irritation. The new skin doesn’t have dead skin cells or other impurities that need removal, so exfoliation is unnecessary. No matter how much you want to speed up the removal of dead skin, avoid using any exfoliating chemicals or products until the surface heals.
-
-
Worry.
-
Chemical peels are an example of making something worse to make it better. For the first week or so after your treatment, you might feel self-conscious about your appearance or have concerns about whether what you’re experiencing is normal. Complications from chemical peels are rare, so your best bet is to relax and trust the process, knowing any discomfort will pay off. You should see fresh skin within a week and continuous improvement in your skin over the next few weeks.
