The Consult

At your scheduled, complimentary consult, the nurse will obtain a medical history and review your current product use and recent sun exposure. Upon arrival, your skin will be cleansed and evaluated for a treatment plan.

Who is a Candidate?

Candidates are skin types 1-4 (skin type evaluated at consult) with problematic skin. It is crucial to avoid sun exposure and tanned skin 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after the treatment.

What Can I Expect?

The chemical peel is applied to cleansed, dry skin with a pad to the areas determined at the consult. You may experience a warm sensation to the treated area. To minimalize discomfort the nurse will provide a high-powered zimmer cooler. The chemical peel is then neutralized and the nurse will cleanse the skin and apply vitamins and sunscreen. Mild to moderate redness may be noted for 2-6 hours, followed by dryness and minimal flaking of the skin for 24-48 hours. It is best to use a mild cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen for 3-4 days after the treatment. A mild exfoliating scrub may be used on day 5.
