If You Look Good, You Feel Good

It is a commonly held belief that if you look good, you feel good. If your're considering a chemical peel to help your skin look good, here are some things you should know:




  • Your skin should be prepared by using appropriate products one to two weeks prior to your first treatment.

  • One week prior to treatment, avoid electrolysis, waxing, depilatories (chemical) and hair coloring/bleaching.

  • Avoid using abrasive scrubs, exfoliants, loofah sponges, facial sponges and facial masks for at least 48 hours prior to treatment.

  • Do not use self-tanning agents for at least 48 hours prior.

  • Do not use retinol products, Rx (Retin-A, Differin, Tazorac, etc.) or over the counter, for at least 48 hours prior to treatment unless advised otherwise.

  • Please contact your skincare professional if you have a breakout of cold sores of fever blisters on the face prior to your treatment.


If you ever have any questions about the treatments you are scheduled to receive call the salon or office that you are visiting prior to your appointment day!
