Post Treatment Aftercare Instructions

Chemical Peels 

                                
To achieve the best results from your Power Peel treatment we ask that you read and understand the following instructions.  

Skin dryness, peeling or flaking can be expected, however it is not essential to achieve a positive result. 

Your recovery time will be influenced by the length of time the leave on treatment has been on your skin and your individual skin response. Your Skin Specialist will have discussed with you the approximate time frame you should expect for recovery, in addition to your personalized post treatment home care. 

Following my Peel treatment, I agree to: 

AVOID FOR 24 HOURS:  

  • Exercise (avoid getting overheated)
  • Bathing or Showering 

AVOID FOR 72 HOURS:

  • Application of chemical sun protection 

AVOID FOR 2-4 WEEKS: 

  • Exfoliating products (scrubs, AHA’s, BHA’s, Vitamin A) other than the Step 3 take home leave on mask
  • Products not recommended by my Skin Specialist

SKIN DRYNESS, PEELING OR FLAKING CAN BE MANAGED BY:

  • NOT PICKING AT THE SKIN – picking/peeling the skin increases the risk of infection, pigment changes and scarring
  • Reapplying aftercare as often as required throughout the day to maintain skin comfort
  • Protecting the treatment area with protective clothing such as hat, sunglasses and long sleeves when outdoors
  • Not using wash cloths, or any other type of facial cloth on the treated area
  • Please contact the clinic with any further questions or concerns on our facebook page
