What to Expect

Before your treatment

Your provider will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, review your current skincare routine, and recommend the most appropriate peel for your needs. Some patients may need to pause certain products prior to treatment.

During treatment

Your skin will be cleansed and prepped before the peel solution is applied. You may feel warmth, tingling, or a mild stinging sensation, depending on the peel used. Treatment is typically quick and well tolerated.

After treatment

Your skin may look pink, tight, or slightly bronzed at first. Peeling usually begins within a couple of days, depending on the peel, and may last several days. Some peels cause very little visible peeling, while others create a more noticeable exfoliation process.

Results

As the skin renews itself, you can expect a smoother texture, brighter tone, and fresher overall appearance. For more corrective concerns such as acne, pigment, or signs of aging, a series of treatments may be recommended.

Pre-Care Instructions

To help ensure the safest treatment and best possible results:

  • Avoid retinoids, retinol, tretinoin, and exfoliating acids for about 5 to 7 days before treatment unless directed otherwise
  • Avoid waxing, threading, depilatory creams, and aggressive exfoliation in the treatment area for 5 to 7 days before your peel
  • Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning before treatment
  • Let your provider know if you have a history of cold sores, recent cosmetic treatments, or are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Come to your appointment with clean skin and avoid heavy makeup if possible
  • Follow any skin prep instructions given by your provider, especially for pigment or acne-focused peels

Post-Care Instructions

Proper aftercare is essential for healing and results:

  • Do not pick, peel, scrub, or exfoliate flaking skin
  • Keep skin moisturized with the products recommended by your provider
  • Wear daily SPF and avoid direct sun exposure
  • Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, acne medications, and active skincare until your provider tells you to resume them
  • Avoid heat, sweating, hot tubs, saunas, and intense exercise for at least 24 to 48 hours if advised
  • Use a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water
  • Avoid facial treatments, waxing, or other exfoliating procedures until the skin has fully recovered
