Essential preparation for optimal treatment results
Proper preparation before your facial or chemical peel treatment is essential for achieving the best possible results and minimizing potential side effects. This guide will help you understand how to prepare your skin in the days and weeks leading up to your appointment.
Different treatments require different preparation protocols. Whether you're scheduled for a gentle hydrating facial or a more intensive chemical peel, following these pre-care instructions will help ensure your skin is in optimal condition for treatment.
Please read through this entire guide carefully and contact us with any questions. Your commitment to proper pre-care significantly impacts your treatment outcomes and overall experience.
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 7-10 days before your treatment. Sun-damaged skin is more susceptible to irritation and complications during chemical peels and certain facial treatments.
Stop using retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C serums, and other active ingredients 3-7 days before your treatment (timing depends on treatment intensity). These products can increase skin sensitivity and may lead to excessive irritation during treatment.
Plan your treatment at least 1-2 weeks before any major events or vacations. This allows time for any potential redness or peeling to resolve, especially for chemical peels and more intensive treatments.
Increase your water intake in the days leading up to your treatment. Well-hydrated skin responds better to treatments and may experience less irritation. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water daily for several days before your appointment.
Switch to gentle, non-irritating skincare products 3-5 days before treatment. Use mild cleansers, avoid fragranced products, and focus on hydration rather than exfoliation or treatment products.
Come to your appointment with clean skin, free of makeup, sunscreen, or heavy products. This allows your specialist to properly assess your skin and ensures optimal treatment results!
