What to Expect During a Peel Procedure?
A spa-like treatment with some spice! You may feel a warm, tingling sensation during the application of the peel solution. Additional layers of the peel will be applied to your skin depending on your skin goals, sensitivity and areas of concern. There can be a few add on options during your peel to enhance the benefits of the peel. A soothing masque is applied post-procedure to calm and hydrate the skin. You will be set home with a recovery kit and your provider will educate you on the proper application of each.
Downtime:
+ Minor redness to the treated area is normal
+ Depending on skin sensitivity, some may experience minor irritation that should resolve in 12-72 hours
+ The peel will increase your skin’s sensitivity to sunlight, so daily SPF application is recommended

Please avoid the following:
+ Excessive exposure to sunlight for 2 weeks
+ Excessive exposure to heat for 24 hours
+ No makeup over the treatment area for 12-24 hours

Follow Up:
+ Depending on skin concerns, a series of 3 treatments, about 4-6 weeks apart may be recommended
+ Once the initial series is complete and desired outcome has been reached, maintenance treatments can be done as often as you wish throughout the year to continue collagen rejuvenation and support overall skin restoration and health
Can I combine peel treatments with other cosmetic procedures?
