  • Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing (like a cotton t-shirt) that won’t rub against the treated area after your appointment.

  • Shaving: Do not shave or wax the area within 24 hours of your appointment. Freshly shaved skin can be extremely sensitive to peels and enzymes.

  • Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning beds for at least a week prior. We cannot treat sunburned skin.

  • Clean Skin: Please shower before your appointment so we can start with a clean canvas.

  • Analysis: We start by checking the skin on your body to decide if you need a chemical peel (for pigment/texture) or an enzyme/oxygen treatment (for acne/bacteria).

  • The Process: Just like a facial, we cleanse, deeply exfoliate (often with a tingle!), perform extractions if needed, and finish with corrective serums.

  • Sensations: You might feel a “spicy” prickling sensation during the exfoliation step, but it is generally very tolerable.

  • Relaxation: While clinical, the treatment involves hot towels and product application that many find relaxing.

Body Treatments
  • Mild Peeling: Depending on the strength of the peel used, you may experience light flaking or peeling on the body for 5–7 days.

  • Sensitivity: The treated skin may feel slightly tender or “sunburned” for 24 hours.

  • Purging: If we are treating acne, it is normal to see a few new spots surface immediately after treatment as the skin clears out congestion.

Upper and Lower Body Treatment
  • Let it Breathe: Avoid tight gym clothes (like sports bras or leggings) immediately after treatment to prevent friction and irritation.

  • Sun Protection: The skin on your body is just as susceptible to UV damage as your face. Wear SPF 30+ on any exposed areas.

  • No Scrubbing: Do not use loofahs, body scrubs, or spin brushes on the area for at least a week. Let the skin shed naturally.

  • Moisturize: Keep the area well-hydrated with a gentle, non-fragranced body lotion to help the healing process.
