Waxing

Yes. The Image Skin Care Peels are safe, effective, they require minimal downtime and leave minimal redness to the treated areas.

If you’re looking to target a specific skin care goal chemical peels should be performed in a series of 4 or 6 treatments.

The number of peels required for you will be determined based on your skin and skin care goals as our approach to peels is customized and tailored to you.

A week before:

- discontinue the use of topical prescriptions or any products containing retinol or vitamin A

- avoid waxing, electrolysis, depilatory creams and laser hair removal treatments

- avoid sun exposure

- do not receive Botox or dermal fillers

- hold off on other treatments unless otherwise recommended

The day of:

- discontinue the use of AHA products, BHA products(salycilic acid) and benzoyl peroxide products

-stop using any exfoliating products

- men: do not shave the day of your peel

- use your post peel kit for 5 to 7 days post peel

- follow product recommendations

- avoid sun exposure

- apply SUNSCREEN daily indoors and outdoors

- did we mention SUNSCREEN?? Seriously though, all day every day!

- don’t forget to book your next peel appointment if you're doing a peel series

We like to take a progressive approach to our peels as opposed to an aggressive approach so we always start off our clients with the Signature Peel which is an enzyme peel. How the skin reacts to this treatment and your skin care goals will determine in which direction we will take your next treatment.

A series of peels is when we cater to a specific skin care concern or goal. A series is usually 4 to 6 treatments done in 2 week increments to speed up the desired results

While chemical peels are not recommended during pregnancy and nursing, enzyme peels are perfectly safe.
