• Chemical Peel to Localized Areas of the Skin

Variable concentrations of solutions will be applied to your skin. This may sting and burn for two to five minutes.You will be leaving shortly after the procedure is performed. You may resume normal activities.

During the next three to five days, your skin may turn dark and begin to peel. SUPPLIES NEEDED:

1. 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
2. Vaseline Petroleum Jelly or Crisco
3. Q-tip cotton swabs

• POST PEEL INSTRUCTIONS

Twice a day, morning and evening: dip nonsterile Q-tip swabs in hydrogen peroxide (the typical household variety) to get them very wet. Apply the hydrogen peroxide saturated swab to the skin and scrub lightly to remove all debris and dead skin that comes off easily. Do not peel skin off manually. It will come off naturally. Using a Q-tip swab, or your finger, apply a coating of Vaseline to keep skin smooth, supple and lubricated. It must appear glistening at all times.

If during the first few days of the healing process, you experience marked swelling of the face with noticeable heat of the skin, you are not removing enough of the debris and dead skin. Please re-cleanse the area.

You may swim, shower, bathe, shave and have your hair done, even on the day of the procedure.

Do not apply sunscreens for at least two weeks or until your skin is completely healed.

You may use make-up and cover-ups when the skin is healed and pink.

You may experience one or more of the following conditions (these are normal reactions):

1. Burning or itching eyes or puffiness around the eyes. If this occurs, bathe the eyes with cool water and apply iced, wet, cold compresses for relief.
2. Stretching or pulling of the treated skin, causing a feeling of tightness. This will be alleviated when the peeling begins and by keeping the skin lubricated with Vaseline.
3. A general feeling of fatigue or low energy level. This will disappear after a few days. While you do have this feeling, try to get some extra rest and/or sleep.
