Chemical Peels

In the 5–7 days leading up to your service, discontinue the use of retinol, prescription retinoids (such as tretinoin), exfoliating acids (glycolic, lactic, salicylic), benzoyl peroxide, and any physical exfoliants in the treatment area. Avoid waxing, dermaplaning, laser treatments, or excessive sun exposure for at least one week before your peel. Come to your appointment with clean skin free of makeup, self-tanner, or heavy skincare products. If you are currently experiencing active cold sores, open lesions, severe acne flare-ups, sunburn, or skin irritation, please contact us to reschedule. Please also inform us if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as certain peels are not recommended; however, we do offer a safe alternative treatment option for you. Following these guidelines helps ensure a safe treatment and the most beautiful, effective results possible.

For the first 24 hours, avoid makeup and cleanse only with cool to lukewarm water, using a soft microfiber towel to pat dry. Apply a soothing, calming moisturizer as needed to keep skin hydrated, and use a cold compress to ease any warmth or tightness. Protect your fresh skin by applying broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily, and when outdoors, wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses for additional protection. Avoid exfoliation and products that contain active ingredients such as retinol, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or strong vitamin C for at least one week. Steer clear of hot water, saunas, intense exercise, or direct sun exposure for 48–72 hours. Refrain from picking or peeling any skin that may flake. Apply Eminence Calm Skin Moisturizer as needed on any peeling skin that feels irritated. Focus on hydration, gentle care, and sun protection to reveal your most radiant, refreshed complexion.
