You cannot be pregnant and receive this service.
Your skin should be free of wounds and sunburns.
Inform the aesthetician if you have:
extremely sensitive skin.
cold sores or are prone to them.
an allergy to aspirin.
had radiation treatment within the application area.
dermatitis or inflammatory rosacea in the peel area.
taken Accutane within the past 12 months.
There are certain products that may increase skin sensitivity and/or cause a stronger reaction to the peel if used up to the day of the peel. Patients should avoid the following products 3 days prior to a Radiance Peel:
Topical retinoids and Tretinoin (Retin-A, Renova, Differin, Tazorac, and Refissa)
Other Topical RX or exfoliates that may be drying or irritating to the skin (AHA's, BHA's, Hydroquinone, or Benzyl Peroxides)
What you need to know after:
Use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 at all times for at least a week.
Ideal options include Obagi Nu-Derm Sun Shield SPF 50 or Obagi Healthy Skin Protection SPF 35.
It is recommended that you continue to use these products to help protect your skin and maintain the benefits of the peel even after the initial week.
Avoid Direct sun exposure
Too much sun exposure may cause improper healing.
It may also reverse the benefits of the peel.
Treat the skin gently--DO NOT exfoliate--though you may experience mildly dry, red, or flaking skin for several days or more after your peel. Do not pick at peeling skin. The dead skin will naturally slough off.
Avoid alpha- and beta-hydroxy acid products, retinoids, retinols, and facial products containing fragrance for a few days after the peel. Instead, use Obagi Therapeutic Moisturizer.
Please be advised by your skin care specialist about when to return to your normal skin care regimen (usually 5-7 days after application of Blue Peel RADIANCE).
