Treatment Time

How It Works
The SkinCeutical Micropeel features three treatment steps. First, a gentle dermaplaning tool exfoliates the skin’s surface to remove impurities and preps the face for the chemical micropeel application. Next, a thin layer of a concentrated solution is applied to the skin to stimulate new collagen production. Finally, an aesthetician uses a unique freezing (known as cryogenic therapy) technique on the skin to reduce pore size and smooth complexion texture.
SkinCeutical Micropeel Plus
The SkinCeutical Micropeel Plus involves one treatment step. Skin is exfoliated and a micropeel solution with a salicylic acid base helps renew problematic skin. Acne, blackheads and sebum clogged under the skin’s surface are improved.
Before/After Treatment Tips
Your skin may appear flushed or rosy in color for a few days after micropeel treatment. Some patients report skin flaking or peeling. By following post-peel care instructions, your skin will quickly heal. In the weeks after treatment, continue to practice a good skin care routine. Use gentle cleansers, moisturizes and apply sunscreen daily. Avoid facial scrubs, masks or brushes that may irritate freshly, revitalized skin.
