Chemical Peel Facial Treatments

Chemical peel treatments are customized for a wide range of skin types and tones. Seeing a professional skin care artist allows for you to get the treatments your skin needs in the moment and to give you the best results for the future. A basic "one size fits all" skincare routine and treatment plan doesn't make sense. Your skin needs different things in different seasons, ages, and circumstances. Allow your esthetician to do the hard work for you. Lay back and relax in the calming atmosphere and rest assured you're in good hands at Joni Ella Esthetics. 

What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels create a wound response in your brain resulting in your body creating more collagen and elastin. This can result in reduced scaring, hyperpigmentation, and acne. Chemical peels may also help with fine lines, skin texture, and firmness. 

Sensitized skin and inflammation must be treated first before beginning more intense exfoliation treatments. We can discuss this process at your next appointment and create a plan appropriate for your skin's needs. 

Pre-Peel Instructions

One Week Prior to Peel:

  • Discontinue the use of topical prescriptions or products containing Retinol These products may cause adverse reactions on the day of the peel.
  • Avoid sun exposure.
  • Do not receive Botox or fillers - injection sites may be sensitized during peel application.
  • Do not wax, receive laser hair removal or electrolysis, or use depilatory creams - These are mild forms of exfoliation and may cause adverse reactions on peel day.
  • Do not receive another professional facial treatment. 

Day Of Peel:

  • Do not shave your face day of or day after your chemical peel treatment. 
  • Avoid any exfoliating products. 
  • Avoid increasing internal temperature.
  • Do not apply makeup immediately after peel. 

The products I use for your chemical peel treatments are made to be left on the skin between 4-6 hours. You may sleep with the product on your skin or choose to wash it off and begin aftercare instructions before bedtime. 

 

 

Micro-Peeling

It's normal for skin to peel after your treatment. Do not pick or peel off any flaking skin. Healing phase can take up to 14 days after treatment. You may wash your skin with a gentle cleanser a few times a day to help slough off the dead skin cells.

Post Peel Instructions

The main goal is to rebuild your skin's protective barrier during your healing phase which can take up to 14 days.

  • Cleanse, moisturize, and protect your skin with post peel products suggested by your esthetician.
  • Keep your skin CLEAN, COOL, AND CALM. - You may want to cleanse your skin 2-4 times a day
  • Pat your skin dry, do not rub
  • Cleanse with tepid to cool water (do not take hot showers/baths) •Avoid sun exposure. The fresh layer of skin is more susceptible to sunburn, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines - Wear a wide brimmed hat (even while driving). Be mindful of reflections under the hat
  • Apply SPF every two hours
  • Avoid elevating your body’s internal temperature. If the body’s core temperature becomes too high it can cause blisters and hyperpigmentation (exercise, sauna, hot shower, hot tub, spicy food, extended time outside in the heat)
  • Avoid excessive perspiration.
  • Avoid exfoliation – this includes loofahs or rough use of towels or washcloths to treated areas.
  • DO NOT PICK or pull at any loose skin. Allow the skin to fall off naturally to avoid hyperpigmentation.
  • No waxing or hair removal until your skin has fully healed to avoid skin lifting
  • Avoid swimming (chlorine)
  • Treat skin delicately and avoid any harsh products not recommended by your esthetician. Even the gentlest products can feel active.
  • Avoid having another professional treatment unless your esthetician suggests it
