Perfect Derma Peel Pre & Post Care

Prior To Appointment


  • Avoid any strong at-home facial treatments, chemical exfoliants, or professional peels 1 week prior to your appointment.

  • Discontinue use of retinoids, AHA/BHAs, acne medications, and other active topical products 5–7 days before your peel.

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 1 week prior. Apply broad-spectrum SPF daily.

  • Wait at least 7 days after receiving injectables, dermal fillers, waxing, or laser treatments on the face.

  • Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup and heavy products.

  • First-time clients or those preparing for a special event are recommended to schedule their peel 6 weeks in advance, allowing time for a follow-up if needed.

After Care

  • ​Expect some redness, mild swelling, and light flaking or peeling over the first 3–7 days. This is normal and part of the rejuvenation process.

  • Avoid picking, scratching, or exfoliating the skin during the healing process.

  • Use only gentle, hydrating cleansers and moisturizers as recommended by your provider.

  • Avoid retinoids, AHA/BHAs, acne products, scrubs, enzymes, or any other active treatments for 7–10 days post-peel.

  • Avoid heat, steam, saunas, and strenuous exercise for up to 7 days to prevent irritation.

  • Stay out of direct sun exposure and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors.

  • Makeup should be avoided until the skin is completely healed and no visible peeling or flaking present on the skin.

  • Postpone facial waxing, laser treatments, or other exfoliating services for 4 weeks after your peel.
