FAQ about Chemical Peels
Level 1 peels require no prep. Level 2 + 3 do require prep. If you are a new client scheduling a Level 2 or 3 peel a consult will be required 2 weeks prior to your peel to go over all prep instructions. Please refrain from exfoliation, retinol, waxing for 48-72 hours prior to your peel. Please limit sun expose the week prior to your peel.=
Typically, Level 1 peels have zero downtime. Occasionally, clients may experience a light flake in areas that are prone to dead skill build up, such as around the nose and cheeks. Level 2 peels usually have 4-7 days oof downtime. Level 3 peels will have a lengthier downtime of 7-14 days depending on the type of peel used. Please plan your appointment accordingly with your "real life" plans. Peels are sometimes unpredictable. Not peeling is not a sign the peel is not working. The peels used at Skin Nirvana are targeting damage under the skin. If you are using professional skincare, getting services regularly or are consistent with at home treatments, you may not experience peeling, but will experience significant results.

Peels are applied in layers. 1-2 layers should not create any painful sensation. Peels can be applied in up to 6 layers. Your skin and pain will be closely monitored during your service and we will not push your comfort levels.
