WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?
A chemical solution is applied to the skin causing minimal trauma to the skin’s layers. This loosens dead skin cells which will eventually peel off promoting new cell growth and revealing a more youthful appearance. We offer a variety of different peels to match your personal skin care needs. A HydroJelly Mask is the perfect way to cool off and relax after a chemical peel. HydroJelly is infused with electrolytes and primarily made from beneficial algae. The mask creates a vacuum like seal to penetrate all the nutrients and ingredients into your skin from the mask that is chosen for your personal skin concerns. The mask cools the face while setting into a rubberized mask. This intensive mask is a potent moisturizer that nourishes the skin while leaving a luxurious texture.

POST TREATMENT CARE
DAY OF TO 4 WEEKS AFTER TREATMENT
- The peeling may take anywhere from 7-10 days on average or longer depending on internal and external factors such as skin type, age, weather, lifestyle, and hormones.
- Slight redness and skin sensitivity and flaking can occur as your treatment eliminates dead surface skin cells.
- Your skin may take on a rough, patchy, darkened quality a few days after this treatment. This is normal and expected and it will resolve on its own.
- The first areas to peel are usually around the nose and mouth, but can begin anywhere. Most people begin peeling on the 3rd or 4th day after treatment. It is also possible to not peel at all. If this occurs, you will still benefit from the treatment because the skin has exfoliated microscopically.
- Make sure to avoid excessive heat on the treated area and direct sun exposure of any kind, as well as tanning beds and self-tanners to the treated areas for 4 weeks after treatment.
- Do NOT engage in strenuous exercise for 2-3 days after treatment because it may exacerbate the inflammatory and can cause your skin to become extremely inflamed. Sweating excessively after treatment can irritate the skin or cause blistering due to the sweat being unable to escape through the top layer of dead skin. Try to avoid sweating until after you have stopped peeling to avoid lifting the skin prematurely, as this can cause scarring.
