Polite Peel

Preparing your skin properly helps ensure the best results and a smoother healing experience.

1. Pause active skincare the week before: Discontinue the use of active ingredients such as AHA, BHA, salicylic acid, retinol or vitamin A, low pH vitamin C, and any exfoliating or stimulating products. This allows your skin barrier to be calm and receptive to treatment.

2. Avoid permanent cosmetics: Be sure not to use permanent cosmetics within 14 days prior to treatment.

3. Focus on hydration: Keep your skin well hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment to support resilience and recovery.

4. Stop exfoliation: Avoid exfoliating products for at least 24 hours before your appointment.

5. Avoid tanning and UV exposure: Do not use self-tanning products or intentionally expose your skin to UV light for 14 days prior to treatment.

6. Pause hair removal: Avoid waxing, bleaching, or other hair removal methods in the treatment area for 14 days before your appointment.

7. Review medications: If you are taking blood thinners, aspirin, or other medications, you may be required to obtain GP approval prior to treatment.

8. Avoid alcohol: Do not consume alcohol for 24 hours prior to treatment.

9. Arrive with clean skin: On the day of your appointment, please arrive without makeup or skincare applied to the treatment area.

10. Time injectable treatments appropriately: If you are planning Botox or dermal fillers, allow at least two weeks after those treatments before receiving a Peel.

11. Share your health history: Let us know about any changes to your health.

Now it’s time to pamper your skin as it recovers and reveals its radiance. Follow these steps to empower your results.

1. Use gentle care: Cleanse with a gentle gel or oil cleanser a at least 2-6 hours after, preferably wait until the following day.

2. No Scrubs, No Picking: Avoid exfoliating products, scrubs, or picking at the skin for at least 48 hours. Your skin will exfoliate naturally.

3. Hydrate Generously: Keep skin well hydrated with hydrating serum, moisturizer, and SPF. Be sure to follow your aesthetician’s specific protocols.

4. Protect your results: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 and reapply every 2 hours when exposed to the sun. Seek shade whenever possible.

5. Avoid heat and sweat: Skip intense exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs for 48 hours post-treatment.

6. Keep everything clean: Avoid touching your face. Be sure to use a new pillowcase, wash makeup brushes, phones, glasses, and anything that touches your face. And don’t let your pets lick your face.

7. Stay in touch: Contact us if you experience blistering, excessive redness, swelling, or prolonged discomfort. We will guide you on next steps and skincare reintroduction.
