Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels are a fantastic way to address a wide variety of skin care concerns such as pigmentation, texture, acne and dry dull skin. We can help you select the peel that is right for you. Here are some chemical peel guidelines to assist you before your peel:
Pre-Procedure:
- Avoid excess sun exposure for at least 3-5 days prior to your treatment.
- Stop all physical and chemical exfoliation, as well as retinols 48 hours prior to your treatment.
- If you are currently taking accutane, you cannot receive a chemical peel for 6-12 months after stopping the medication.
You will peel over the next 1-3 days depending upon your chosen peel. It is important that you follow the post care instructions and avoid excess sun exposure. Please apply broad spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 45 or higher when outdoors.
Enjoy your beautiful glowing skin! For best results, we recommend a series of treatments spaced 1 month apart.
Microneedling
Also know as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is amazing for creating new texture, plumping and smoothing out the skin from acne scars, wrinkles, and even stretch marks!
Pre-Procedure:
- Avoid excess sun exposure prior to treatment.
- Avoid using any topical retinoids, AHA/BHA, steroid or hydroquinone creams at least 5 days before the procedure.
- Avoid drinking red wine or taking blood thinners, unless instructed by your medical provider, such as aspirin or fish oil supplements, the day before your procedure to reduce the risk of bruising.
- Avoid spray tanning at least 5 days prior to procedure.
You will be red and a little swollen for about 12-24 hours post procedure and may have some pinpoint bleeding. Use a gentle skin cleanser and avoid applying makeup for 24 hrs. You may resume your normal skin care routine after 24 hrs. Please follow the post care instructions and use a sunscreen of SPF 45 or higher.
Enjoy your gorgeous results!
