WHAT TO EXPECT
Immediately after peel and up to 24 hours:
- Skin may be tight and more red than usual
- Skin may feel tacky and have a yellow to orange tinge due to the retinol. This is temporary and will fade in a few hours.
- Wait until bedtime to wash your face
24 hours after the peel and until peeling is complete:
- Skin may be tight until it starts to peel
- Peeling will generally start 48 to 72 hours after the procedure and can last 2 to 5 days.
- DO NOT PICK OR PULL THE SKIN. Allow skin to peel at its own pace. (Premature peeling of the skin will result in dry, cracked, raw skin that may develop into post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
WHAT TO AVOID
- Strenuous exercise the day of the procedure and until your skin has stopped peeling.
- Direct sunlight for at least 1 week – use sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
- The following products/procedures until your skin has completely stopped peeling:
- Retin-A, retinol, alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) products or bleaching creams
- Facials, BOTOX injections, facial hair removal, injectable fillers, microdermabrasion, and laster treatments (including laser hair removal)
POST-PEEL CARE
- Cleanse: Use a gentle, soap-free cleanser like SkinMedica Facial Cleanser or Sensitive Skin Cleanser. Remember, while your skin is peeling, do not scrub or use a washcloth.
- Moisturize: Apply TNS Ceramide Treatment Cream or Ultra Sheer Moisturizer as often as needed to relieve dryness and control peeling.
- Protect: Apply Daily Physical Defense SPF 30+ sunscreen throughout the day and avoid direct sunlight for at least 1 week.
Keep up your skin care regimen! Maximum benefits are seen with a series of 3 or more peels. Remember results are cumulative.
- Schedule Vitalize Peels every 3 to 4 weeks or Rejuvenize Peels every 4 to 6 weeks until desired results are achieved.
