CHEMICAL PEEL AFTERCARE:
- Avoid heat, swimming, sauna, or whirlpool use for at least 7 days after the peel.
- Wait at least 24 hours to put makeup on.
- Sun protection is critical. You should NOT have any sun exposure; wear a broad spectrum sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30. This includes driving to work. Obviously, do not use a tanning salon.
- Do wash your skin twice a day with a gentle cleanser and liberally apply a bland moisturizer after cleansing and throughout the day as needed to prevent dryness and formation of crust.
- Do NOT vigorously rub the skin and DO NOT pick at the flaking skin as this may cause scarring.
- Avoid laser treatments, waxing, the use of depilatories, or microdermabrasion for 3 weeks.
- Do wait 7 days before resuming the use of Retin-a (tretinoin), Renova, Differin, Tazorac, Ziana, Veltin, Atralin, glycolic acids or any other exfoliating agents such as a Clarisonic Brush.
- The procedure may cause swelling, redness, crusting, dryness, skin sensitivity, itching, and peeling of the site which could last for 1-2 weeks.
