Chemical Peel Aftercare

First 24 hours Post-Chemical Peel

• Avoid strenuous workouts, dry saunas, and steam rooms on the day of the peel or for 24 hours post-peel. Increased blood circulation can intensify uncomfortable side effects on freshly peeled skin. Skip such activities on the day you use a peel.
• Do not apply anything to face until the following evening.

First Week Post-Peel

• Moisturize. Peels can temporarily compromise your skin’s protective barrier. A medium-thick moisturizer will reinforce the barrier.
• Hydrate. Increasing your water intake will help avoid dehydration post-peel.
• Apply SPF 30 or higher. Reapply SPF throughout the day to maintain protection.
• Do NOT exfoliate. Peels are maximum strength exfoliants. Further exfoliation in the week following a peel can cause damage and sensitivity.
• Do NOT pick or peel skin – The dead skin will shed and peel when the layer of skin underneath is healed. Picking at the skin may expose skin that isn’t ready and cause further damage.
• Hats – As an added layer of precaution, it is recommended that you provide extra UV protection for your skin by wearing a hat when in the sun for the two weeks following a peel.

Post-Peel Skincare Routine

Morning

• Rinse with cool water.
• Apply Tyrosinase-inhibiting serum to prevent hyperpigmentation Bio Hydra C, Pro Lite, or Pro Brite.
• Apply Lira Solar Shield SPF of choice to prevent damage to the skin post-resurfacing.

Night

• Cleanse with a gentle cleanser and cool water.
• Apply Tyrosinase-inhibiting serum to prevent hyperpigmentation Bio Hydra C, Pro Lite, or Pro Brite.
• Apply Mystiq iLuminating Oil, Bio Lift Crème, or Bio Caviar

Brazilian Wax Aftercare

Follow these guidelines to ensure proper healing and optimal results after your Brazilian wax:

Avoid Irritants:

• Refrain from hot baths, showers, saunas, or steam rooms for 24-48 hours.
• Avoid tight clothing, friction, and excessive sweating.
• Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and moisturizers.

Protect from Sun:

• Stay out of direct sunlight for 24-48 hours.
• Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher if sun exposure is unavoidable.

Moisturize Regularly:

• Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep the area hydrated and prevent ingrown hairs.
• Apply moisturizer twice daily, especially after showering or bathing.

Exfoliate Gently:

• After 24-48 hours, start gently exfoliating the area 2-3 times per week.
• Use a soft scrub or exfoliating mitt to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.

Other Tips:

• Avoid touching or scratching the area unnecessarily.
• Wear loose-fitting cotton underwear or breathable clothing.
• If you experience any irritation, redness, or swelling, apply a cold compress or over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream.
• Schedule your next wax appointment 4-6 weeks after the initial treatment to maintain smooth results.

Additional Notes:

• If you have sensitive skin, consult a dermatologist before getting a Brazilian wax.
• Avoid waxing if you have any open wounds, infections, or ingrown hairs.
• Store your wax kit properly to prevent contamination.

By following these aftercare instructions, you can minimize discomfort, promote healing, and extend the results of your Brazilian wax.

Lash Lift and Brow Lamination Aftercare

For the first 24-48 hours after a lash lift and brow lamination, avoid water, steam, saunas, excessive sweat, sun exposure, and makeup to allow the hairs to set in their new shape. Also, avoid rubbing or touching your lashes and brows and try not to sleep on your face. After this initial period, you can gently cleanse and groom your brows with a spoolie but continue to use oil-free products to maintain the lift and lamination.

For the First 24-48 Hours (Crucial Setting Phase)

Avoid Wetness & Steam

Keep your lashes and brows completely dry. This includes avoiding showers, swimming pools, saunas, and steamy environments.

No Makeup

Do not apply any mascara, eyeliner, or brow makeup.

Avoid Heat & Sun

Stay away from saunas, sunbeds, direct sunlight, and excessive heat.

No Touching or Rubbing

Refrain from touching, rubbing, or manipulating your lashes and brows to prevent them from losing their shape.

Gentle Cleansing

When you do wash your face, be very gentle around the eye area and pat your lashes and brows dry.

Sleep on Your Back

Try to sleep on your back to avoid crushing or misaligning your newly styled lashes and brows.

Avoid Oil-Based Products

Oils can weaken the solutions, so avoid them on and around the treated areas.

No Mascara or Eyelash Curlers

The lift already provides a curl, so there is no need for additional curling, and waterproof mascaras can cause the lift to drop.

Ongoing Care (After the Initial Period)

Gentle Cleansing

When washing your face, continue to be gentle around your lashes and brows.

Use a Spoolie:

Brush your brows with a clean spoolie daily to maintain their shape and direction.

Nourish Regularly:

Consider using a conditioning serum nightly to keep the hairs hydrated and healthy.

Use Oil-Free Products:

Stick to oil-free or water-based skincare products to avoid breaking down the lash lift and brow lamination.
