Follow are our suggestions for pre-peel care to ensure a successful peel experience.
Tips for All Peels:
- For optimal results, use the 2% or 5% daily home treatment 2 weeks before the first peel, or use a moisturizer and cleanser containing glycolic acid as well as a high-concentration cream, lotion, or gel form applied at bedtime.
- Discontinue all home regimen 2 days prior to a peel.
- In addition to your peel product, your in-office or at-home peel set-up should include a timer, fan, sink, alcohol, and some form of pre-peel cleanser or soap.
- Before the peel, it is important to cleanse the skin well with alcohol, and then again with a bland soap to remove oils
- Start with a low concentration acid peel and gradually increase that.
- Sun protection must be used every day.
