Facials & Chemical Peels

Facials

Radiance Aestheticians and Medical staff provide a wide variety of medical and non-medical facials and Chemical Peels that can be customized to your skin type and your skin improvement goals. These range from no down-time hydrating facials that treat the superficial layers of the skin to prescription strength ingredients that treat the mid to deep layers of the face, such as retinoic acid, hydroquinone and TCA.

We provide pampering yet cutting edge treatments in a comfortable spa setting yet always remembering that we are first a medical office and your safety is number one priority. You will be asked to fill out paper work as in any doctors office. You may have to see our doctor or RN depending on whether you are having a prescription strength peel or otherwise.

We are concerned with your safety and the outcome of your procedure so PLEASE keep in mind the following hints for chemical peels:

  1. You may need an anti-viral medication if you are prone to oral herpes so take this before treatment or ask for a prescription as the trauma of a peel can cause an outbreak.
  2. A topical retinoid can increase the effectiveness and speed the recovery of your treatment so the use of this is highly recommended but stop a few days before your peel!
  3. We highly recommend a lightener and a retinol before your treatment, especially for mid or deep peels, and especially if you have a lot of damage or have olive or dark skin. This will prevent your skin from darkening from the treatment.
  4. SUNSCREENSUNSCREEN…before and after your treatment. we can tell you what to use for what type of sun exposure. we don’t expect you to be a hermit.
  5. Do NOT wax or use a depilatory for a week prior to your treatment.

The above may not apply to ALL chemical peels or to all patients. call and ask us before you schedule if you are unsure. also chemical peels are not for everyone.
