Skin Treatments
Tissues in the deeper layers of our skin break down and thin as we age. This can be caused by heredity, smoking, sun exposure, and the use of harsh drying agents, such as soap or makeup. These signs of aging are typically manifested in the form of wrinkles, lines, spots, stretched pores, growths, and changes in complexion. Thankfully, modern skin care treatments can reduce the visible signs of aging and greatly improve the appearance of a person’s skin. We strive to provide the best in technique, technology, and experience for all of your skin care needs. We are renowned in California and worldwide for outstanding patient care and quality treatment.

Before Your Peel or Facial
Before getting a heavier peel one must make sure they have properly prepared the skin for this procedure. These steps help ensure better results from the peel and help avoid any potential damage to the skin. Before an appointment refrain from:
- Having a chemical peel (14 days prior) – results will be unpredictable and may damage the skin
- Tanning in a booth or extensive sun exposure (2-3 weeks prior and post treatment)
- Having a wax or chemical depilatory treatment (7 days prior)
- Getting Botox or dermal fillers (7 days prior)
- Using Retin-A, Retinol, Differin, Tazorac and glycolic acid products (5-10 days prior)
After Your Peel or Facial
After receiving a peel it is crucial that the following steps be followed. The skin at this point is very sensitive and can easily be irritated, damaged or hyper pigmented (scarring). After an appointment refrain from:
- Directly placing face in hot water (2-3 days)
- Steam rooms, saunas and hot tubs (7 days)
- Participating in activities or exercise that cause heavy perspiration (5-7 days)
- Tanning booths and minimal to no sun exposure (use an SPF of at least 30+ if outside)
- Picking or pulling any loose skin.
- Do not use any scrubs or exfoliants.
- Using Retin-A or any of the other products listed in pretreatment section (10-14 days)
- Having any facial injections or fillers (7 days)
Peel and Facial FAQ
What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a quick treatment that is designed to basically achieve faster and more effective results than a traditional facial. Many people think that a chemical peel involves harsh acids being placed on the face which then makes one burned and unable to even leave the house without scaring their family and friends. Though these types of peels are offered in many Dermatologists offices, there are also many types of chemical peels that vary in strength. We offer a variety of peels that vary in intensity. Some people may choose to receive a light Pumpkin or Retinol peel which have little to no down time. Some may choose the option for a heavier TCA or Lactic Acid peel which are stronger, but they do require more post care and light recovery. All peels include 1-2 layers of product. Additional layers may be applied for maximum effect for an additional fee. Every person is different, and our aesthetician will find the best peel to suit your needs. All peels include a free pre peel consultation prior to your first peel and an at home post peel kit after your treatment.

Are peels painful?
Depending on the strength and which peel is chosen will determine this. A light chemical peel will tingle or sting a little when applied but this is very mild and subsides quickly. A heavier peel is going to be more uncomfortable when applied but these peels are only left on for a very short period of time.
With a light peel the skin may feel tight and look slightly red, but this subsides very quickly. A heavier peel will be the same but after a day or so the skin will start to feel chapped and may feel dry and itchy. Depending on the strength of the peel you receive, the skin will generally start to flake and peel off within 2 days. This generally can last 3-5 days depending on how sensitive your skin is. Though this process is not really painful it is more a nuisance and noticeable. The results are great after 3-5 days and a post peel kit is provided to lessen these effects and any discomfort.
