HOW TO PREPARE FOR A CHEMICAL PEEL

When you arrive, you’ll fill out your skin care form to indicate your unique needs, goals, and history of previous sessions. This step is important, so it’s best to arrive 15 minutes early to give yourself enough time to focus on you. 

LET’S GET TO KNOW YOU

You’ll head back to meet your esthetician and discuss the content of your personalized skin care form. This step will help introduce your certified esthetician to your unique skin and determine your customized skin care options. And a chemical peel is only performed on your face, so you won’t need to remove any clothing.

REVIEW YOUR OPTIONS

PCA SKIN chemical peels at Massage Envy are safe and effective for all skin types. Your esthetician will review the steps of the treatment and your skin care options so you can feel fully prepared prior to starting. 

YOUR PEEL EXPERIENCE

A chemical peel is an overall rejuvenating experience. Your session will involve a cleanse to prep skin, the application of a self-neutralizing chemical peel, and the appropriate post-session care products. Be sure to communicate with your esthetician during the session if you have any discomfort. Open lines of communication are key to ensuring your experience is as relaxing as possible.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER A CHEMICAL PEEL

After your chemical peel is complete, your esthetician will wait outside while you gather your belongings. Once you’re all set, you can discuss home care product options to help prolong the effects of your peel.

After your peel

You’ll get a complimentary, 3-5-day kit of PCA SKIN products to help maintain the effects of your chemical peel. Light flaking in a few localized areas for several days is typical. And Massage Envy wants you to be a smart skin care enthusiast. Make sure to limit sun exposure in the first few days following your peel. If you have any questions, consult with your esthetician.
