WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
A PEEL SOLUTION FOR EVERY SKIN CONCERN
All treatments begin with a consultation and a skin health assessment to determine your skin care goals. Your skin is double-cleansed, followed by a customized application of one the following peel solutions depending on skin concern. An added bonus treatment is the application of a hydrating luxe marine mermaid treatment jelly mask to provide soothing and cooling effects to your skin post treatment. Followed by the mask, is the application of finishing, corrective products and SPF.
Your professional treatment will be customized with one of the following peel options:

CHEMICAL PEEL POST CARE
- Do NOT wash your face unit the following morning
- Do NOT apply make up/foundation for 12-24 hours
- Stay as cool as possible. Overheating internally can cause hyperpigmentation
- Do NOT direct a hair dryer onto the treated area
- Do NOT put the treated area directly into a hot shower spray
- Do NOT use hot tubs, steam rooms, or saunas
- Do NOT participate in activities that would cause excessive perspiration
- Do NOT go swimming
- Do NOT apply ice or ice water to the treated area
- Do NOT use any form of mechanical exfoliation – Treat skin delicately and avoid any harsh products, rough towels or washcloths
- Not everyone will experience peeling after a chemical peel treatment; however, if your experiences peeling, do NOT pick, scratch or help remove any sloughing skin
- Apply moisturizer or hyaluronic acid often
- Do NOT apply alpha hydroxyl acids, beta hydroxyl acids, benzoyl peroxide, retinoids or other vitamin A compounds for 10 days or until skin has completely healed
- NO laser treatments, waxing or microdermabrasion treatments for 2 weeks
- ALWAYS wear SPF 30+ daily and reapply every 2 hours when outdoors
P.S. My personal favorite SPF post peel is
Sorella’s Quench & Protect SPF … aaah, so hydrating!)
With our superficial peels, there is no downtime. You may return to work immediately.
It is important to keep your skin COOL and out of the direct sun as. Depending on strength of treatment, this ranges from 3-10 days.
- Pregnant or nursing
- Accutane usage in the past year
- Cosmetic tattoos must be at least 6 + weeks healed
- Not willing to use SPF 30+ daily
For corrective results, a series of 3 to 6 treatments is recommended. Additionally, a professional grade home-care routine that is personalized to your skin concern(s) is highly recommended.
Having one professional treatment 4 times per year, along with a personalized, professional grade home-care can do wonders in slowing the signs of aging!
Professional chemical peels can be performed as often as every 3 to 6 weeks.
Depending on your skin type, there may be no visible peeling at all or there may be mild to moderate skin peeling.
I highly recommend using professional grade skin care products that are customized to your needs, along with regular, professional treatments.
This is a critical step in working towards a specific skincare goal.
Daily use of SPF is your number 1 anti-aging prevention and it is crucial to use SPF 30+ daily after receiving professional treatments as they will sensitize the skin to the effects of sun exposure. I am happy to curate a customized home-care routine that will work to address your skin goals as well as nourish your skin with amazing ingredients!
As with all peels and treatments, it is recommended that make up NOT be applied on the day of your treatment, as it is ideal to allow the skin to stabilize and rest overnight; however, makeup may be applied 15 minutes after the treatment if desired.
