FAQ’s

Peels:

Pre-Chemical Peel:

Discontinue using tanning beds at least two weeks before a chemical peel. We advise that you stop using tanning beds altogether because they increase your risk of skin cancer and accelerate visible signs of aging.
Avoid extensive sun exposure 10 days before your scheduled chemical peel.
No facial waxing for 7 days before treatment.
If you are on an acne treatment regimen, stop using Renova, Differin, Tazorac, Avage, EpiDuo, or Ziana 5 days before treatment.
Stop using Retin-A (retinol) products or applications for 7-10 days before a chemical peel. High percentage alpha hydroxy (AHA) and beta hydroxy (BHA) products should be stopped 5 days before treatment.
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily (minimum SPF 30) and avoid the gym 24 hours before a chemical peel.
Do not use aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (ex. Advil) for at least 7-10 days before a chemical peel.

Post-Chemical Peel

After your chemical peel, expect changes in your skin before seeing the final results. Follow instructions after your chemical peel to ensure the best possible results.

On post-peel day 3, you may experience mild to moderate shedding depending on the depth of the chemical peel, the number of layers applied, and the depth of the chemical peel. There may be dryness and tightness of the skin. Flaking and peeling post-peel is not uncommon unless you have a superficial peel. Superficial peels have little to no downtime, so you may not experience flaking.
You may develop small whiteheads, but this IS NOT A BREAKOUT.
Lighter skin complexions may notice mild redness after a chemical peel.
Do not peel or pick at the peeling skin. You must allow the skin to flake off naturally. Picking at the peeling skin can cause hyperpigmentation.
To minimize the side effects of the peel, use the post-procedure kit provided by your skincare professional for 3-5 days or until the flaking has stopped.
Do not apply ice or water to the areas that have been treated. Avoid makeup on the day of your treatment because the skin needs time to stabilize and rest.
For the first 48 hours after your chemical peel, do not participate in activities that increase body heat and sweat, such as drinking alcohol, exercising/working out, hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas, hot shower spray, swimming, or directing a hairdryer to the treatment area. Internal heating can cause hyperpigmentation.
Avoid direct sun exposure and excessive heat. Continue to use a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher just as before your peel.
Keep your skin well hydrated with a protective moisturizer. Apply it twice daily or more often if needed to reduce flaking.
Do not have electrolysis, or facial waxing, or use depilatories for 5 days after your chemical peel.
Avoid using retinol and glycolic acids for 10 days post-peel.
Do not use scrubs, loofahs, exfoliating sponges, or mechanical exfoliation on your face for 7-10 days.
Do not go to a tanning bed for at least 2 weeks post-procedure.
If on an acne regimen, delay using tretinoin, Retin-A, Differin, Renova, Tazorac, Avage, EpiDuo, or Ziana 5 days post-procedure. It is fine to resume using a vitamin C serum 5 days after treatment.
You mustn't have another chemical peel until your clinician advises you to.
Contact your skin care professional if you notice increased redness, hyperpigmentation, or crusting skin.

Light therapy:

What is Celluma low-level-light therapy?

Low-level-light therapy or photobiomodulation is based on Light light-emitting diode (LED) technology and is the application of light energy to the body for therapeutic benefits. It promotes a natural photobiochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photosynthesis. The energy delivered by the LEDs has been shown to enhance cellular metabolism, accelerate the repair and replenishment of damaged skin cells, and stimulate the production of collagen—the foundation of healthy, smooth skin. Research has shown that LED light therapy may help smooth skin texture, improve skin firmness and resilience, increase lymphatic system activity, restore skin’s natural cellular activity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial hyperpigmentation. The treatment is for all skin types, and is non-ablative, non-invasive, painless, and requires absolutely no downtime. Clients can return to their normal activity immediately after the treatment.

Are there any harmful side effects to low-level light therapy?

LED devices are considered extremely low risk when used as intended. Celluma should not be used on children under 12, or over the breast or stomach of a breast-feeding or pregnant person. Please refer to the User Manual for a complete list of contraindications.

Microchanneling:

Does Microchanneling hurt?

With minimal physical discomfort, most clients can do the procedure without numbing cream and without any noticeable pain. There is no lingering discomfort, and we have several strategies to minimize discomfort during treatment. Post-procedure, most people report a “tight” feeling in their skin.

Who can do Microchanneling?

Microchanneling treatments are minimally invasive, they are also safe for all skin types. Whether you are fair-skinned or dark, and even if you experience chronic breakouts, properly conducted microchanneling treatments will not result in hyperpigmentation, keloid scars, or other lasting negative side effects.

What skin conditions can be addressed with Microchanneling?

Microchanneling treatments can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, stretch marks, and rosacea.

Facial Cupping:

How does Facial Cupping work?

The suction action draws up and separates different layers of tissues into the cups. Bruising or trauma to the skin is avoided by not suctioning too deep and not remaining in one static position for very long. This vacuum mechanism causes flooding of the area with white blood cells, platelets, and other healing aids, leading to a brighter, more sculpted appearance and collagen production. Facial cupping results may include:

Increases oxygen-rich blood circulation to skin and tissues to stimulate collagen production and improve nutrient delivery and product absorption
Stimulates lymphatic flow, and detoxifies the skin through the lymphatic drainage
Releases fascial adhesions and promotes the production of hyaluronan
Calms and triggers the parasympathetic nervous system
relaxes muscle tension
Increases absorption of skin care product
brightens skin
minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
tones chin, jawline, neck, and décollete
decreases puffiness
