Please refer to the pre-care instructions for your specific type (Tier) of peel as well, but in general:

Discontinue Active Skincare Products:

• Stop using retinoids, exfoliants (like glycolic or salicylic acid), and other active products 5 to 7 days before your appointment.

  • Keep your skin well-hydrated during this time.

  • Avoid tanning beds and direct sun exposure.

Active Breakouts or Open Skin:

• It’s best to wait until your skin is free of open wounds, inflamed breakouts, or irritation.

• Your provider will assess whether your skin is ready for treatment.

Medications:

• Inform your provider about all medications you’re currently taking.

• Special attention should be given to:

  • Antibiotics

  • Accutane (within the past 6 months)

  • Medications that increase sun sensitivity

• These may affect your treatment eligibility or timing.

Recent Botox or Dermal Fillers:

• Wait at least 2 weeks after receiving injectables before having a chemical peel.

• Always follow your provider’s personalized advice.

Hair Removal:

• Avoid shaving or waxing the treatment area for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment to minimize skin sensitivity.

Please refer to your specific Signature Chemical Peel Post Instructions, as these do vary based on the depth of the peel. For most peels:

Post-Treatment Reactions:

• You may experience redness, tightness, peeling, or flaking within a few days.

• These are normal parts of the skin’s healing and renewal process.

Skin Care Tips:

• Use a gentle, non-irritating cleanser.

• Keep your skin well-moisturized.

• Avoid exfoliating products and active ingredients (like retinoids, AHAs, and BHAs) for at least 5 to 7 days.

• Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily, even when indoors.

Makeup Use:

• Wait 24 to 48 hours before applying makeup.

• Choose non-comedogenic and fragrance-free products to reduce the risk of irritation.

Resuming Your Skincare Routine:

• You can usually return to your regular routine—including actives and exfoliants—after 7 to 10 days, once your skin has fully healed.

• Reintroduce products gradually, one at a time, to watch for sensitivity.

Sun Exposure:

• Avoid direct sunlight for at least one week post-treatment.

• Continue using SPF 30+ daily to protect healing skin and prevent post-treatment pigmentation.

Frequency of Chemical Peels:

• Light peels may be done every 4 to 6 weeks.

• Deeper peels require longer recovery and more time between sessions.

• Your provider will advise on a schedule suited to your skin type and goals.

Treatments in this Tier 1 Level focus on hydration, polishing, and barrier enhancement. These are excellent peels for first-timers and before hydrating injectables. These can be done every 1-2 weeks are are best done in a series of 4-8.

The Vascular Calm Peel: Using Mandelic Acid, a large-molecular-weight alpha-hydroxy acid, penetrates the skin slowly and evenly, making it exceptionally safe for sensitive, reactive, or darker skin types. It gently exfoliates while clearing mild superficial congestions and calming redness.

The Deep Dermal Hydration Matrix: The extremely gentle alpha-hydroxy acid (Lactic Acid) has dual-action a a mild exfoliant and a natural humectant. It pull moisture into the upper layers of the epidermis, making it an ideal treatment for dry, dehydrated, or mature skin seeking an immediate plumping effect.

Tier 2 Medical Peels (4 in total) focus on deeper epidermal penetration to actively treat acne congestion, uneven pigment distribution, and early signs of environmental aging.

The Sebum Pathway Purifier (Salicylic Acid): An oil-soluble beta-hydroxy acid engineered to bypass surface oils and penetrate deep inside the lining of the pore chambers. This treatment aggressively dissolves compacted sebum, sloughs away dead cell buildup, and delivers powerful anti-inflammatory benefits to clear active breakouts and refine large pores.

The Miami Peel:‍ ‍The Miami Peel safely exfoliates, targets pigment to lighten, and treats acne for clearer, smoother skin with a youthful glow. It uses a synergistic blend of skin-friendly Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), Antioxidants, and Brighteners.

The Chrono-Tone Regulator (Glycolic Acid): A small-molecular-weight alpha-hydroxy acid that rapidly penetrates the deeper layers of the epidermis. It accelerates cellular turnover to effectively lift early sun damage, smooth rough skin textures, and minimize the appearance of early fine lines.

The Complexion Harmony Reset (Modified Jessner’s Peel):‍ ‍A sophisticated blend of lactic acid, salicylic acid, and citric acid designed to deliver multi-depth exfoliation without aggressive peeling. It simultaneously targets superficial hyperpigmentation and mild acne congestion, leaving skin texture balanced and uniform.

These medical-grade formulations are engineered to induce significant epidermal shedding. They also trigger a massive collagen cascade to treat deep structural damage. Prior to Tier 3 or 4 peels, pretreatment should be completed with a prescription retinoid and brightening agent for a minimum of 6-8 weeks or you can complete 2-3 lighter peels in quick succession to pretreat your skin. (Please find out which is best for you) before scheduling via a consultation. Healing may take 7-14 days and requires strict sun avoidance before and after treatments for several months (why should you keep damaging you skin anyway?)

The Rejuvenating Structural Remodeler (Classic Jessner’s):‍ ‍A highly effective, self-neutralizing combination of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol designed to break down stubborn cellular bonds across the entire epidermal sheet. This promotes deep peeling to correct stubborn texture variations, post-inflammatory marks, and advanced sun damage.

The Dermal Matrix Renewal (Trichloroacetic Acid/TCA): This is our premier resurfacing protocol utilizing medium-depth TCA. By intentionally coagulating surface proteins, it prompts full epithelial shedding and a profound deep-dermal healing response. This treatment is highly specialized for smoothing structural acne scarring, deep expression lines, and advanced environmental skin laxity.

Customized layered multi-peel agents are used to produce strategic skin-changing results. Prior to this tier of peel, pretreatment is required with prescription retinoid and skin brightening agent for a minimum of 6-8 weeks (verses 2-3 lighter peels (tier 1-2) subsequently within that time-frame)

The Purifying Canvas Prep Peel (Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid): Layering a gentle Salicylic Acid directly before a Glycolic Acid strips away surface sebum, allowing the Glycolic Acid o penetrate more deeply and evenly.

The Advanced Protocol (Jessner’s + TCA):‍ ‍Utilizing a classic Jessner’s peel as a primer immediately before apply a TCA peel creates a uniform frosting effect. This technique achieves incredibly deep pigment correction with reduced risks of hyperpigmentation with improved dermal changes throughout, for a beautiful restorative, regenerative treatment.

A more customized approach to your needs, this peel starts with a distinctive peel chosen for your specific skin qualities and needs (Tier 1-3 level), with a Tier 4 medium peel applied to more problem areas only, such as darker pigment spots, deeper lines or scarring. Pretreatment required for 6-8 weeks unless other services are used to create the necessary results for your skin (2-3 light peels in quick succession).
