Chemical Peels are a great choice for improving the overall appearance of your skin, promoting a healthy glow, and preventing signs of aging. Bisous Esthetics provides chemical peel treatments that require minimal downtime. These treatments improve the tone and texture of your skin, diminish signs of aging by stimulating collagen and elastin production, reduce hyperpigmentation and scarring, and help control acne breakouts. For longer-lasting results, a series of treatments is typically recommended.
Home care is essential to enhance the benefits of your Chemical Peel and support a better healing process. Below are some tips to consider before and after chemical peel procedures.
Pre-Peel
Discontinue the use of any Retinol, Glycolic, AHA/BHA's, or other exfoliation products 3 days before treatment
No waxing, electrolysis, or other hair removal methods to be performed 7 days before treatment
No self-tanners on area to be treated
No Botox or filler 5 days before treatment
Post-Peel
SPF is to be applied before any sun exposure. Wearing sunscreen daily is a must to see results from any skincare treatment.
Drink more water, this will help with repairing your skin barrier, giving you better results
Avoid exercising and sweating for 48 hours
Use a gentle, light moisturizer for a week following peel, be sure not over apply
No picking or peeling off flaky skin
