What to expect

After your treatment

• Do not take any anti-inflammatory medications for one week after the procedure.

• Do not use ice on your face, and avoid using arnica/bromelain. These may interfere with the natural inflammatory process that’s critical for your skin rejuvenation.

• Avoid sun tanning and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight for at least 2 weeks. After 24 hours, always use sunblock (30 SPF or higher) and wear a hat if you’re outside.

•Use a painkiller, such as Tylenol, if you experience any soreness.

The Healing process

Day 1-3

Face will be dry and feel tight. You may possibly experience a mild burning sensation. Redness and slight swelling is normal.

TIPS:

Avoid strenuous exercises that cause sweating as well as jacuzzis, saunas, and steam baths for up to 48 hours.

Sleep on your back with the head of the bed elevated to minimize swelling or pain as needed.

DAY 2-7

Peeling may start 3-5 days after the treatment. You’ll notice skin dryness and flaking which is due to an increased turnover of skin cells. DO NOT pick, scratch, or scrub at treated skin!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

You must allow the old skin to flake off naturally and keep it moisturized at all times. Talk to your skin specialist about which products to use.

DAY 5-7

You may start your regular skin care products again, once your skin no longer feels irritated. Most of our patients have noticed continued skin improvement over the months following their last treatment.

FOR BEST RESULTS:

We recommend follow-up and repeat Chemical peel treatments every 4-6 weeks, with a series of 4-6 treatments depending on your personalized care plan.
