Typically, it’s recommended to be using hydroquinone (HQ) and retinol before the peel, but your provider will discuss a personalized plan during your consultation. After treatment, it’s important to use a broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect your renewed skin, maintain results, and limit strenuous exercise while peeling.

During this time, it’s important to follow post-treatment instructions, avoid strenuous exercise, and protect your skin with broad-spectrum SPF.
