DOs & DON’Ts FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEELS

ONE WEEK BEFORE THE PEEL:

Discontinue any topical prescriptions or any products containing Retinol or Vitamin A. It’s best to clear with the prescribing physician.

Avoid waxing, electrolysis, depilatory creams, and laser hair removal treatments.

Avoid sun exposure.

Do not receive neurotoxins or dermal fillers.

Do not have other treatments unless recommended by your licensed skin therapist.

DAY OF THE PEEL:

Discontinue all use of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), beta hydroxy acid (BHA) and benzoyl peroxide.

Stop any exfoliating products that may be drying or irritating.

Men: Do not shave the day of your peel.

IMMEDIATE POST PEEL:

After receiving your peel do not use any skincare products that have not been approved by your licensed skin therapist. Your may start your POST TREATMENT KIT the next morning and for the next 5-7 days.

Following these instructions will maintain your results longer and help you avoid complications. At Skin Fit Rox we supply each client with a 5-day post-peel kit for optimal results (extra charge).

POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Be sure to take care of your skin following dermaplaning session.

Following these instructions will maintain your results longer and help you avoid complications.

CLEANSE:

Use a gentle cleanser and warm, not hot, water. Rinse off.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, wash cloths, brushes such as Clarisonic, or hot shower for the first 24-48 hours.

Do not use cleansers, serums or spot treatments containing retinol, salicylic acid or Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO) for 5 days following service.

TONE:

Hydrating and brightening toners applied with a cotton round will penetrate deeper into the skin. If you are sensitive, try all products on a small area before applying to the full face.

SERUMS:

Active ingredients in serums penetrate much better now, so you’ll see quicker results.

Please do not use Retin-A for 5 days pre- and post- dermaplaning.

For darker skin tones: use a brightening serum to reduce any risk of PIH.

MOISTURIZE:

Choose a hydrating moisturizer and apply twice daily. It’s common for skin to feel tight but dewy to the eye. This is good and will only last a short time. Moisturizer locks in skin’s hydration with the added absorption of its active ingredients.

SPF:

Your skin is more vulnerable to UV rays after exfoliation. SPF is essential to protect your skin - even on cloudy days when UVA (aging) rays are present.

MAKEUP:

Makeup can irritate skin after dermaplaning. Bacteria, alcohols, colorants and fragrance are all irritants that can cause contact dermatitis. Be sure to clean your makeup brushes, replace your sponges and apply clean (new) makeup to minimize risks.

DO: Minimize sun exposure as much as possible. If you need to be outside, apply SPF generously and reapply every 2 hours. Wear a hat, and seek out shade whenever you can.

DO: Avoid excessive heat, intense workouts, steam rooms, and saunas for 24-48 hours after your treatment to protect your skin.

DO: Wait at least 7 days before scheduling any facial waxing. Waxing can be done before dermaplaning, but we will only dermaplane up to the waxed area to avoid overstressing your skin.
