Chemical Facial Peel

---

Everyone!  Whether you have:  

• Aging, reducing fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne, control oil production for fewer breakouts
• Discoloration, provides a more even skin tone
• Sensitive skin/rosacea

We are happy to help achieve your beauty goals!

Our medical grade PCA Peels are formulated to be gentle, yet effective!  PCA uses advanced ingredient stabilization and delivery technology, patented to our brand specifically! Each peel has a unique blend of acids that penetrate the skin to exfoliate and re-generate the skin cycle. Immediately after a peel, skin will be hydrated and glowing with some possible redness. On day two, the skin will be tight and may feel dry. Starting two to three days after treatment, shedding may appear. Shedding is the elimination of dead skin cells, allowing fresh new cells to replenish!  Shedding will usually last 2-3 days, after a week you will be able to enjoy your fresh glowing appearance!  

Since the skin's natural turn over cycle is 28 days, monthly peels are possible for most individuals.  For client's experiencing acne and hyperpigmentation, peels can be performed more frequently at the discretion of the Nurse Practitioner/Registered Nurse. Since Chemical Facial Peels make a visible difference in the skin, they should be scheduled at least a week before a major event, and two weeks before any prolonged sun exposure. 

Results will vary for each individual and their needs. Results are most visible after a series of three peels performed 4 weeks apart. For more serious conditions, several rounds of peels may be needed, however it is important to be consistent. Waiting too long between peels can mean losing progress on results that have already been made so be sure to schedule your next peel before you leave the spa.   

First Peel and don't know what to do? Now worries!  

Using medical grade products at home before doing a peel will give you better results because your skin will be acclimated to professional products!

Each chemical facial peel is customized for YOU!  Prior to your first peel, it is recommended that you take the following into consideration:

- Avoid tanning bed two weeks prior to treatment.  We recommend avoiding them altogether to prevent skin cancer and accelerated aging, but that is obviously your choice. 

-Do your best to avoid extended sun exposure within 10 days of your peel (if exposure is not avoidable, we recommend wearing a wide brimmed hat and apply SPF frequently).  Depending on skin type and recent sun exposure, the peel could exacerbate hyperpigmentation. 

-It is recommended to delay use of tretinoin, Retin-A, Renova, Differin, Tazorac, Avage, EpiDuo, Ziana and high-percentage AHA and BHA products for approximately five days prior to treatment.  Consult your physician before temporarily discontinuing use of any prescription medications.
