Where Confidence Begins
Take the first step toward feeling more like you—refreshed, radiant, and confident in your skin.
Avoid exfoliating treatments, harsh skincare products, and excessive sun exposure for at least one week before your peel. Stay well-hydrated and follow any personalized pre-treatment instructions your provider gives you. These steps help minimize irritation and ensure an even, predictable peel.
You may feel a warm or tingling sensation as the peel solution works on your skin. This is temporary and typically lasts only a few minutes. Your provider closely monitors your comfort level and can adjust the application if needed.
Peeling usually begins 2 to 3 days after treatment and can last up to a week, depending on the strength of the peel. Some patients experience only light flaking, while others see more noticeable shedding. Either way, this process is a sign of healthy cell turnover.
Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours or until your provider confirms it’s safe to apply. Wearing makeup too soon can interfere with healing and may cause irritation. Once your skin has settled, makeup will often apply more smoothly and look more radiant.
Most people see visible improvements after a single peel, but a series of treatments often delivers the best results. Your provider will create a plan based on your skin’s needs—some clients choose quarterly peels for ongoing maintenance, while others start with a short series to address specific concerns.
Post-peel care plays a key role in your results. Keep your skin hydrated, use gentle cleansers, and apply broad-spectrum SPF daily. Avoid picking or peeling flaking skin, as this can cause irritation or scarring. Your provider will give you tailored instructions to maximize healing.
Many clients notice a brighter, more even complexion within a week, after the peeling phase ends. Continued improvement often develops over the next few weeks as collagen production increases and skin texture refines.
Chemical peels use carefully formulated solutions to dissolve damaged surface layers and stimulate regeneration from within. While treatments like dermaplaning provide immediate smoothing, peels penetrate more deeply to improve tone, texture, and clarity over time.
Yes, chemical peels often pair well with treatments like microneedling, facials, or light-based therapies. Your provider will determine the safest and most effective way to combine procedures for your specific skin goals.
