what to expect
We highly recommend that when starting a peel series to get on a home care routine that will work well with your peels to achieve the results you are looking for. When your skin is properly prepared, results will be better achieved and will also protect your skin from unnecessary side effects (like increased pigmentation). Please consult with one of our estheticians for the proper products.
After analyzing your skin condition, your esthetician will customize your peel to suit your needs. The following peels below are a guideline. Strength and the amount of layering we do will affect the time of the peel is left on and the results we are striving to achieve for you.
On a final note, what you use for at-home skincare will have a dramatic effect on your overall skin health and the results you may be trying to achieve with your skin. We will partner with you and guide you closer and closer to achieve healthier and more vibrant skin.

frequency recommendations
In order to make changes in the skin, it takes more than one treatment. After one, you’ll see great results but if you are looking for big changes it takes multiple treatments. From our years of experience, we see the greatest changes stretched over a 3 month period of time. We only work with the epidermis and it’s difficult to completely change it with a one time treatment of a medium depth peel. Our peels are gentle and progressive. After 3-5 treatments spread over a 3 month period of time, amazing results will occur with no downtime (other than some light peeling). Below are some guidelines for different skin conditions that we work with.
For acne and breakouts you should come in for a chemical peel every two weeks for 6 weeks for best results ( 3 treatments). After 6 weeks we can switch to maintenance protocol. If you are receiving peels for acne, you should also be on an acne clearing routine with us. Peels alone won’t keep your skin clear, but can greatly increase and speed up the clearing of your skin.
For hyper-pigmentation & anti-aging you should come in for a chemical peel every 3-4 weeks for 9-12 weeks for best results (3-4 treatments). After about 3 months we can switch you to maintenance protocol (usually consists of monthly facials or a peel a few times a year)
For rosacea & maintenance it is recommended to come in every 4-6 weeks. We offer a special peel that keeps the skin under control. We also recommend calming home care products.
