• Avoid prolonged or intentional sun exposure, tanning beds and self-tanning products on the treatment area.

• Avoid professional resurfacing treatments unless otherwise discussed with your provider.

• Your skin should not be sunburned, irritated or sensitized at the time of treatment.

During the treatment:
A numbing cream is applied for comfort. The device is passed gently over the skin to create micro-channels. You may feel light prickling or vibration.

Immediately after:
The skin may appear pink or flushed, similar to a mild sunburn. Tightness or warmth is normal.

Results:
Glow appears within a few days. Collagen production continues for 4–6 weeks, with improvements building after each session. A series of 3–6 treatments is typically recommended.

During the treatment:
Your skin is cleansed and prepared before a peel, carefully selected for your skin type and concerns, is applied. You may feel warmth, tingling or mild stinging as the peel works on the skin.

Immediately after:
The skin may appear slightly pink or flushed and can feel warm, tight or sensitive. Depending on the peel, these sensations typically settle shortly after treatment.

The following days:
Mild dryness, tightness or flaking may occur as the skin renews. Some clients experience visible peeling while others experience very little — peeling is not necessary to achieve results.

Results:
Skin gradually appears brighter, smoother and more even in tone and texture. Results continue to improve as the skin renews, with a series of treatments often recommended for concerns such as pigmentation, acne, uneven texture and signs of aging.

Immediately after:
Redness, warmth, tightness and sensitivity are normal. Following microneedling, the skin may appear flushed similar to a mild sunburn. Following a chemical peel, dryness or flaking may develop over the following days.

For the first 24–48 hours:

• Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sweating.

• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs and excessive heat.

• Avoid swimming.

• Avoid direct or prolonged sun exposure.

• Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area unnecessarily.

• Use only gentle, hydrating skincare recommended to you.

• Following microneedling, avoid makeup for the first 48 hours.

For the next 5–7 days:

• Avoid retinol and retinoids.

• Avoid AHAs, BHAs and exfoliating acids.

• Avoid vitamin C and other potentially irritating active ingredients.

• Avoid scrubs, exfoliating pads, cleansing brushes and at-home exfoliation.

• Do not pick, scratch or manually remove peeling or flaking skin.

• Avoid waxing, threading, depilatory creams and other resurfacing treatments (LASERS FOR 2 WEEKS)

• Keep the skin well hydrated and protected.

Sun protection:
Your skin will be particularly vulnerable to UV exposure following treatment. Avoid unnecessary sun exposure and wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 daily, reapplying as appropriate.

Returning to your regular skincare:
Once redness, sensitivity, dryness and flaking have completely resolved and the skin feels back to normal, active ingredients may be gradually reintroduced according to your personalized recommendations.

Remember:

If you experience blistering, significant swelling, severe or worsening pain, signs of infection or any reaction that concerns you, please contact an appropriate healthcare professional.
