NEEMA’S BODY WRAPS CHEMICAL PEEL

A chemical peel is a technique used to improve and smooth the texture of the skin. Facial skin is mostly treated, and scarring can be improved. Chemical peels are intended to remove the outermost layers of the skin. To accomplish this task, the chosen peel solution induces a controlled injury to the skin. Resulting wound healing processes begin to regenerate new tissues.The dead skin eventually peels off. The regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. Please seek professional help from an esthetician or dermatologist to before using the chemicals.

How to prepare for a chemical peel:

• Refrain from any other chemical peels. In the two weeks leading up to a chemical peel, it is imperative that you refrain from having any other chemical peel treatments. If it has been less than two weeks since your last chemical peel, you should wait until at least 14 days have passed.
• Avoid microdermabrasion treatments 14 days prior as well.
• Cut out tanning booths. Tanning, including the use of artificial UV radiation in tanning booths, can cause significant damage to the skin. For this reason, it is imperative that anyone planning on having a chemical peel avoid tanning for at least two to three weeks before the treatment.

• Limit sun exposure. While you should not engage in tanning for two to three weeks before a chemical peel, you should also limit all sun exposure for at least ten days before the treatment. If you must be in the sun for any duration of time in the two to three weeks before a treatment, you should wear sunscreen and try to limit your time outdoors as much as possible.

• Be gentle on your skin. As you prepare for a chemical peel, you will need to refrain from waxing your skin or using chemical depilatory (hair removal) treatments for at least five to seven days before treatment. You should also avoid all chemical injection treatments, including Botox and collagen injections, for at least one week before the treatment.

• Apply prescribed lotions. Depending on the depth of chemical peel you will be undergoing, your doctor or esthetician may recommend that you use a moisturizing and healing lotion on your skin before the treatment. Glycolic acid lotion is typically recommended for light chemical peels. This lotion is used for two weeks before the treatment to help ensure that your skin peels uniformly and heals more easily. A retinoid cream like tretinoin or Retin-A is used for light or medium chemical peels to help shorten the duration of your treatment and speed up the healing process. Retinoid use is typically discontinued three days before the treatment.

• Use a bleaching agent. Depending on your skin complexion, your doctor or esthetician may recommend the use of a bleaching agent like hydroquinone, especially in conjunction with a retinoid cream like tretinoin. Using a bleaching agent before treatment can help prevent your skin from darkening during the treatment.Hydroquinone (skin bleaching) is most commonly recommended for people with darker skin complexions to prepare for a chemical peel. Discontinue the use of bleaching products for at least one week before the treatment.

• Learn about medication interactions. Depending on what medications your are currently taking, your doctor may recommend that you discontinue some of those medications before undergoing your chemical peel. The most common medications that must be discontinued before treatment are photosensitizing drugs, which increase your sensitivity to sunlight and may cause inflammation after exposure to sunlight.

Skin Care Routine after Chemical Peel

• Cleanse gently with Image Skincare Ormedic Balancing facial cleanser twice a day. Use your hands.

• Hands Off! The main goal of a chemical peel is to “burn” off the damaged skin. When the dead skin starts to shed, avoid touching, picking or scratching it with your fingers. Let the dead skin shed off naturally. Don’t peel the skin off with your own fingers. Using fingers to remove the dead skin can lead to possible scarring.

• Help avoid touching the face and prevent breakouts by pulling the hair back off the face with a hair band or hair tie. Allow the skin to go through its naturally peeling process without accidentally contacting your skin while brushing back your hair. Touching the skin with dirty fingers and hands will only aggregate the new skin and may lead to breakouts. If breakouts do occur, don’t treat them yourself. Have your aesthetician treat them for you or just leave them alone.

• Moisturize. After receiving a chemical peel, the skin will be sensitive. You do not want to use the same products or follow the same regimen as usual after treatment. The only two products you’ll want to use on your skin during the peeling process are sunscreen and moisturizer. Use Image skincare rescue post treatment recovery balm. When applying the moisturizer to the skin, be careful not to rub or scrub it in. Gently apply a thick layer of moisturizer all over the skin multiple times throughout the day, if needed. You’ll be able to go back to your regular skincare routine once the peeling process is complete, generally within a week of receiving the chemical peel.

• Protect With SPF. You’ve just gone through the process of getting rid of damaged skin with a chemical peel. Avoid damaging the new, vulnerable skin coming through by protecting it with a layer of sunscreen anytime exposure to the sun is possible. Whether sitting by a window or being outside, you need to protect your new skin. Be sure to choose a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. We recommend Image Skincare Prevention Moisturizer spf 32.

• Let It Peel. Do not remove any of the dry, dead skin with any sort of exfoliation during the peeling process. All facial scrubs, acids and Clarisonic Cleansing Brushes are off limits until the skin stops shedding, usually up to a week after treatment.

• Lighten Up! Dead skin loves dark clothing. To better camouflage the dead skin shedding off the face, it’s probably a good idea to wear lighter colored clothes during the peeling process.

• Don’t Worry 😊 It’s also a good idea to let people around you know that you just received a chemical peel. This way they won’t think something is up with you and your skin. Not only that, your friends can admire your new refreshed and glowing skin once the peel is complete!
