Two Days Post-Peel

​

• Avoid elevating your body’s internal temperature. If the body’s core temperature becomes too high it can cause hyperpigmentation.

• Do not apply ice to areas treated with a chemical peel as this can cause irritation.

• Avoid any excessive exfoliation. This includes loofahs or rough use of towels or washcloths to treated areas.

• Avoid any activities that cause excessive perspiration.

• Avoid sun exposure and swimming.

• It is recommended (but not mandatory) to avoid makeup use the day of a treatment to allow the skin to normalize.

• Treat skin delicately and avoid any harsh products not recommended by your esthetician.

​

5-14 Days Post-Peel

​

• Redness may linger for several hours after a treatment.

• Not every person will experience peeling after a treatment.

• A light flaking for several days is normal.

• Do not pick at or pull any loosening skin. Allow the skin to fall away naturally to avoid

  hyperpigmentation from forming.

• Continue to avoid sun exposure.

• Avoid waxing or hair removal for five to ten days post-treatment.

​

Product Use

​

• To maximize the results of your peel, follow your treatment with Sorella Apothecary products recommended by your esthetician.

• Apply moisturizer every morning and night. Extra application of moisturizer can be used during the day to help minimize the appearance of peeling or flaking skin.

• Avoid the use of topical prescription creams (such as tretinion, Retin-A and Differin)

• Make sure your esthetician is aware of any prescription medications.

  Avoid any further treatments until your skin is fully healed. (at least 14 days)
