Treatment Guidelines

Essential steps to protect your skin barrier, ensure optimal comfort, and maximize your results before and after your appointment.

Facial & Chemical Peel Pre-Care

Pause Active Serums: Discontinue Retin-A, Retinols, Tretinoin, AHA/BHA acids, and prescription acne topicals 3–5 days prior to your appointment.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sun, tanning beds, and active sunburns for 1 week before your visit.
Cosmetic Injectables: Wait at least 14 days post-Botox or filler injections before getting a facial, dermaplaning, or peel.
Waxing & Shaving: Avoid facial waxing, threading, or depilatories within 48 hours prior to prevent heightened sensitivity.

Avoid Heat & Workouts: Skip heavy workouts, hot saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
Protect Your Skin: Apply broad-spectrum physical sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily and avoid direct sun exposure while skin is renewing.
Shedding Care: If undergoing a peel or microchanneling, do NOT pick, scratch, or force shedding skin to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Pause Actives: Hold off on restarting retinoids and chemical exfoliants for 5–7 days after a peel or microneedling treatment.
