Cleanse & Exfoliate

We start with a double cleanse to thoroughly remove makeup, oil & build up on surface of the skin.

Exfoliate the skin with derma-planning to remove layers of dead skin build up & peach fuzz to allow your skincare products to penetrate deeper into your skin and prep for the Carboxy therapy

Peel & Extract

A chemical solution is applied to the skin, which breaks down chemical bonds in dead skin cells and causes the skin to peel away. This triggers the body's natural healing response, which produces new skin cells. Resulting in clearer, smoother & more even skin tone. I offer multiple peels for different levels of acne

Extract black heads via sonic scrubber which vibrates any debris from the pores.

Soothe & Relax

A soothing & calming mask paired with cold therapy to soothe any warmth & redness from the peel.

A relaxing neck & shoulder massage to relax & remove tension from your body.

Red Light Therapy to promote wound healing, soothe redness that may have occurred during the treatment & boost skins glow.

Lock everything in with toner, serum, moisturizer sunscreen & a lip treatment.

FAQ

  • Purging is when you breakout from a treatment or product. This is not a negative reaction this is happening because it speeds up your skin's cell turnover rate allowing the breakouts that were stuck in your skin to come to the surface. This makes the breakouts easier & less painful to extract. Purging can last between 4-6 weeks.

  • Dermaplaning: feels like slight scraping across your face. It does not hurt. During the process your skin may feel slightly tight & dehydrated but it is followed up with products to combat these side effects.

    Chemical Peel: results vary depending on peel depth chosen.

    Cold Globes feel cold on the skin, this helps calm & soothe any redness that occurs from the treatment as well as hydrates skin leaving you plump & glowy.

    During: It burns, it feels uncomfortable but a fan is provided to help make it more comfortable. The burning sensation only lasts 1-2 minutes per layer. By the end of the treatment you should not feel a burning sensation, but you may feel warm & sensitive.

    Day 1-3: Your skin will feel tight & may feel congested as under the skin breakouts come to the surface. You skin may have a plasticy look before peeling starts.

    Day 3-7: Around day 3 you will start to experience flaking/peeling. Please allow the peel to shed off naturally. Peeling off the flaking skin yourself may result in scarring. If you have dark marks you may notice them darken prior to flaking off.

    Once your skin is done peeling you will notice an over all glow, improved texture, hyperpigmentation & breakouts.

  • Although unlikely there are some potential side effects such as

    • redness

    • edema (swelling)

    • irritation/ sensitivity

    • minor scratching

    • cold sores if you have a history or are prone to them.

  • 3-6 treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart, depending on the severity of your skin concerns & how your skin responds. With chemical peels you must trust the process!

  • I pair chemical peels with other forms of exfoliation (microdermabrasion or derma-planning) to thoroughly exfoliate multiple layers of skin. Pairing these treatments with LED therapy & a soothing masks promotes the would healing process while still allowing the chemical peel to be effective. Although there is minimal peeling most do experience purging.
