Full Feel The Peel After-Care Instructions
Let skin peel naturally. Follow your care plan; avoid friction and irritation.
What to expect
- Treatment day: redness, heat sensitivity, and slight swelling. Days 1–2: tightness, dryness, temporary pigment darkening, or surface crusting may occur.
- Flaking may begin around day 3 and often eases by day 6. Some people have little peeling. Do not pick, pull, or scrub; cleanse and moisturize gently.
Pause heat and exfoliation
- Avoid strenuous exercise, sweating, and excessive heat for 2–3 days, including hot tubs, steam, and saunas.
- Avoid retinol, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) for at least 1 week and until fully healed.
- Avoid scrubs, washcloth exfoliation, and cleansing devices for at least 1 week and until fully healed. Ask when to resume makeup or prescription skincare.
Protect your skin
- Avoid direct sun and tanning beds for 4 weeks. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ as directed; reapply every 2 hours outdoors. Add shade and protective clothing.
- Do not speed peeling with extra acids or another procedure. Report recovery concerns to the clinic.
When to get help
- Call Beauty Lab + Laser for persistent burning, blisters, worsening pain or swelling, spreading redness, drainage, or fever. Seek urgent care for severe symptoms or if the clinic is unavailable.
- Call 911 for trouble breathing, throat or tongue swelling, or collapse.
