Superficial peel gently exfoliates the outer layer of skin with little to no downtime or pain. No prep needed
A slightly deeper peel penetrates beyond the outer layer to target fine lines, uneven tone, and mild imperfections
Reaches deeper into the skin to address moderate concerns like pigmentation, wrinkles, and acne scarring
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.
With any level peel you will need to refrain from heating the skin for 7 days. This includes saunas, hot tubs, baths, putting face into hot water, excessive sweating, scrubs, sun exposure, tanning. You will receive information at time of your appointment on how to best care for your skin. Please avoid working out right before and for 48 hours afterwards. SPF will need to be applied every 3-4 hours for 4-7 days, or while actively shedding. A hat is suggested for any outdoor exposure for the 1st 4-7 days, or while still peeling.
Everyones perception of pain is different. If you are concerned with pain, or have a low pain tolerance more superficial peels can be used. 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.
Peels can target such concerns as fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, pigment, acne, large pores, scarring, uneven texture, dullness, dry/dehydrated skin, Peels can be layered to target your specific concerns. Your peel service will be customized to your skin concerns and goals.
