Custom Pro Peel

The Custom Pro Peel is a non-invasive, no-downtime approach to healthier-looking skin. Our Custom Pro Peel is tailored to your skin’s needs, concerns, and desired outcomes during each clinical visit. We recommend peels to improve skin health, strengthen tolerability, and nourish at a cellular level. A Custom Pro Peel series is excellent before trying more aggressive clinical treatments and to boost the benefits of an at-home skin regimen.

Get The Facts

The Custom Pro Peel uses a blend of 20% glycolic acid and 10% lactic acid to encourage exfoliation and cell renewal to reveal healthier, smoother-looking skin. The extensive benefits of the Custom Pro Peel include improved cellular turnover, collagen synthesis, boosted hydration, lightened hyperpigmentation, decongested pores, decreased bacteria, and smooth texture.

Pre-Treatment

Before you Arrive:
+ Please ensure you have filled out your Health History/Intake form before your appointment. If you are unable to complete it, please arrive 15 minutes early

How to Prepare:
+ Though it’s not necessary to come make-up-free, consider arriving to your appointment with a bare face
+ Daily SPF application is recommended

What to avoid:
We recommend avoiding the following:
+ Neuromodulator treatment for a minimum of 2 weeks (these treatments can be done on the same day, as long as the Neuromodulator treatment is after the facial)
+ Filler for at least 4 weeks prior
+ Applying exfoliants or actives such as AHA/BHAs, Retinol, Hydroquinone, Benzyl Peroxide, etc. for 5 days prior depending on skin sensitivity
+ Excessive sun exposure 2 weeks prior
+ Waxing or shaving the treatment area 5 days prior
+ Must be off of oral isotretinoin (Accutane) for a minimum of 6 months prior
+ Is it our policy to not provide treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding

Post-Treatment

Downtime:
+ Minor redness to the treated area is normal
+ Depending on skin sensitivity, some may experience minor irritation that should resolve in 12-72 hours
+ The peel will increase your skin’s sensitivity to sunlight, so daily SPF application is recommended

What to Avoid:
Please avoid the following:
+ Excessive exposure to sunlight for 2 weeks
+ Excessive exposure to heat for 24 hours
+ No makeup over the treatment area for 12-24 hours
+ Applying actives (AHA/BHAs, Retinol, Hydroquinone, Benzyl Peroxide, etc.) for 5 days, depending on skin sensitivity
+ Laser treatments for 2-4 weeks

Follow Up:
+ Depending on skin concerns, a series of 3 treatments, about 4-6 weeks apart may be recommended
+ Once the initial series is complete and desired outcome has been reached, maintenance treatments can be done as often as you wish throughout the year to continue collagen rejuvenation and support overall skin restoration and health

Frequently Asked Questions

+ How many Custom Pro Peels are needed for optimal results?

A series of 3-6 chemical peels are typically recommended to achieve desirable results, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

+ What reasons can make me ineligible for the Custom Pro Peel?

Contraindications include pregnancy and breastfeeding, active cold sores, warts, wounds, sunburns, excessive sensitivity, and dermatitis in the treatment area. The Glow Peel is also not recommended if you have taken oral isotretinoin in the past year.

+ What to expect during a peel procedure?

A spa-like treatment with a little spice! You may feel a warm, tingling sensation during the application of the peel solution. Additional layers of the peel will be applied to your skin depending on your skin goals, sensitivity and areas of concern. Retinol Boosters are an option to increase the peeling, flaking, and shedding of dead skin cells. A soothing masque is applied post-procedure to calm and hydrate the skin. Your technician will then select products specific to your concerns and educate you on the proper application of each.

+ Should I keep up with Glow Peel treatments?

Continued chemical peels are recommended to improve skin strength, functionality, tolerability, and increase cellular turn over over time. If your skin can tolerate it, you may “graduate” to one of the higher strength peels we offer.

+ Are there any side effects of a custom pro peel treatment?

Some common side effects of custom pro peel treatments include redness, mild swelling, dryness, and flaking of the skin. These side effects are temporary and subside within a few days to a week. It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your skincare professional to minimize potential side effects.

+ How long does a custom pro peel treatment take?

The duration of a custom pro peel treatment can vary depending on the specific peel being used and the individual’s skin condition. Typically, the treatment can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes.
