Peel Pre & Post Care

It is recommended to delay the use of tretinoin; Retin-A®, Differin®, Renova®, Tazorac®, Avage®, EpiDuo®, or Ziana® 5 days PRIOR to any chemical peel.
Avoid extended sun exposure 10 days prior to treatment.
For best results, it is recommended that you use PCA SKIN daily care products 10-14 days prior to treatment.
If you are lactating, pregnant or may be pregnant, consult your OB/GYN before receiving any treatment.
After receiving a chemical peel you should not necessarily expect to “peel” however, light flaking in a few localized areas for several days is typical. Residual redness may last for approx. 1 - 12 hours post-peel.

It is recommended that makeup not be applied the day of treatment; it is ideal to allow the skin to stabilize and rest overnight; however, makeup may be applied 15 min. after the treatment if desired.
To minimize side effects and maximize results; use the Post Procedure Solution kit for 3-5 days.
Moisturizer should be applied twice a day.
Topical, over-the-counter medications, or alpha hydroxy acid products should not be applied to the skin 7 days post-procedure.
Avoid direct sun exposure and excessive heat. Use a Broad Spectrum SPF 30 or higher for protection.
Do not go to a tanning bed for at least 2 weeks post-procedure.
Do not pick or pull on any loosening or peeling skin. This could potentially cause hyperpigmentation.
