WHY SKIN DISCOVERY
Peel Approach
PERSONALIZED
Most spas leave it in your hands to decide which peel you should book. At Skin Discovery, your first appointment focuses on skin analysis and consultation to determine which peel is best for your skin type and conditions.
PEEL PREP
In your first appointment, you'll given a 1 oz Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant to expose and adjust your skin to lactic and mandelic acids. Your skin care routine will also be reviewed to ensure your skin is primed for your first chemical peel.
POST CARE
At each peel appointment, you'll be given a post care kit that includes a gentle cleanser, recovery serum, moisturizer and sunscreen, along with a sample of an enzyme mask to promote healing and best results post peel.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Frequently Asked Questions
During your first appointment, I'll analyze your skin and help you decide how many peels are ideal to best target your concerns. A set of 3-6 peels is often recommended.
For 48 hours post peel:
• Maintain a normal body temperature • Do not directly expose your skin to hot shower spray or heat from a hair dryer • Avoid hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms and swimming • Avoid any activities that would cause your body to perspire • Do not use any physical exfoliants like loofahs, scrubs, clarisonic • Do not apply ice or ice water directly to skin - use cool compresses as needed instead • DO NOT PICK, PEEL OR SCRUB LOOSE SKIN • Plan for a few nights of relaxing self-care!
Individual sensitivity and tolerance will vary. A tingling and slight stinging sensation is normal during your peel. Discomfort should resolve in 30 to 60 minutes. A pink hue is normal post peel and should subside within 24 hours. Prolonged discomfort and redness may be a sign of allergic reaction. By introducing the acids to your skin prior to your first peel, the risk of an allergic reaction is significantly minimized.
The average length of time between peel appointments is 4-6 weeks. I'll adjust this timeline based on your unique skin and how it healed after your first peel.
The post care kit includes a trial size ClearChoice Hydrating Cleanser, Sport Shield SPF 45, NeoGenesis Enzyme Mask, Barrier Renewal Cream and Recovery Serum which is a 70% human stem cell treatment that will bring down redness and support the healing process to promote the best results from your chemical peel. These products will last about 7 days.
The chemical peels currently offered by Skin Discovery are gentle in that they only superficially penetrate the skin. Contrary to medium depth and deep peels that aren't suitable for sensitive skin, lactic and mandelic acid can be safely used on sensitive skin provided your skin barrier is healthy and has been exposed to these acids ahead of time - hence the importance of your first appointment and peel prep! Don't worry, we'll make sure your skin is ready.
