Do NOT use topical prescriptions, abrasive scrubs or exfoliants 7 days post peel.
No prolonged sun exposure 2 weeks post peel.
Sun protection of SPF 30-45 is to be applied every two hours when in direct sunlight.
I am currently not using any medications that are contraindicated to receiving a chemical peel. i.e. ACCUTANE, tretinoin, Retin-A, Renova, Differin, Tazorac, Avage, EpiDuo, Ziana, and high percentage AHA & BHA products.
Superficial to medium depth chemical peels are topical exfoliants applied to the skin to soften the dead skin layer and stimulate cell turnover restoring the skin to a more youthful appearance.
Many skin conditions can be improved when receiving a series of peels. Fine lines softened, dull skin is more radiant, rough & uneven skin becomes smoother. Sun damaged skin or hyperpigmented skin becomes more even. Acne scarring can soften.
I understand that anytime the skin barrier is compromised; there is a small risk of infection. I will contact my Aesthetician immediately should this happen.
I understand that following the treatment my skin may have slight or extreme redness, swelling, stinging, itchy, tenderness, dry or flaking skin.
I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM NOT TO PICK THE FLAKING SKIN AS THIS COULD CAUSE UNWANTED PIGMENTATION.
Most side effects will gradually diminish over time as healing may take several days or longer. I know I can NOT do strenuous exercise, swimming, or be in hot tubs, hot bath tubs, saunas or steam rooms for 24 hours of treatment time.
The chemical peel treatment has been fully explained and any questions or concerns that I have, have been addressed.
I acknowledge that no guarantee has been given to me as to the condition of the complexion, pore size, wrinkles or the percentage of improvement expected following treatment, due to each individual's unique reactions.
I understand that no specific results are guaranteed.
BY SIGNING BELOW, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ THE ABOVE INFORMATION AND THEREBY CONSENT AND AGREE TO THE TREATMENT WITH ITS ASSOCIATED RISK. I HEREBY CONSENT TO RECEIVE A CHEMICAL PEEL.
