Your peel week
Simple, start to finish.
Free consultation, 30 minutes, and treatment can happen the same visit, with no rebooking needed. The application takes about 15 to 20 minutes and is virtually painless: a slight sting or tingle for 30 to 60 seconds, then the skin numbs.
Day 1
Dr. Tessa applies your peel. It self-neutralizes, and you leave with it on.
Day 2
You wipe it off at home with the post-peel towelettes. Skin feels progressively drier and tighter, and looks a little darker.
Days 3–4
Peeling. Let it happen on its own and keep moisturizing.
Day 5
Done, perhaps with a few small rough patches. Hello, fresh skin.

Before and after your peel
Easy prep. Gentle aftercare.
Before
No skin prep is required.
Stop retinoids, AHAs/BHAs and steroid creams 3 days before. No lasers, resurfacing or chemical exfoliants for 4 weeks before. No waxing, tanning or self-tanner for 2 weeks before and after, and avoid heavy sun for 2 weeks before.
If you get cold sores, ask about an antiviral. Plan your peel away from big events and sunny trips.
After
Don’t wash, touch or apply makeup for at least 6 hours. On Day 2, use the two post-peel towelettes from your take-home kit, and wear SPF 30+ from Day 2 on.
Once peeling starts, use the post-peel moisturizer 2 to 3 times a day. Never pick or pull peeling skin, and skip heavy exercise, saunas and hot tubs while you peel.
Your Patient Take Home Kit is included: two post-peel towelettes, post-peel moisturizer, mineral SPF 30 and instructions.
Is it right for me?
The peel isn’t recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, within 4 months of isotretinoin (Accutane), with an aspirin or salicylate allergy, or with open wounds, sunburn, cold sores, keloids, vitiligo, eczema or dermatitis.
Dr. Tessa reviews your health history at your consultation, so you’ll know before anything is done.
