Peels – Pre & Post Care Instructions

What to expect after a peel:

Day 1 Skin may appear pink and feel tight. You may also experience mild swelling.

Day 2 Tightness and swelling start to subside. You may notice slight flaking around the nose and mouth as dead skin starts to slough away.

Day 3 You should experience less tightening and more flaking as dead skin continues to slough off, particularly while cleansing.

Day 4 Continue cleansing to hasten the removal of dead skin.

Day 5 Most heavy peeling should be over.

Day 6 By now, you should notice a clearer, smoother looking complexion with little to no flaking.

Day 7 Enjoy your renewed complexion.
