Chemical peels are able to treat concerns such as pigmentation, acne and ageing skin, by increasing cell turnover and bringing newer skin cells to the surface. Chemical peels encourage exfoliation by sloughing off dead skin cells, forcing your body to quickly replenish them with new cells. When peels are performed regularly, the skin gets us​ed to this process and begins to rejuvenate itself like younger skin. Chemical peels cause controlled damage to the epidermis and / or the dermis with the goal of stimulating new tissue to improve skin texture and tone. This process reveals a smoother and more radiant complexion.

Peel treatments rejuvenate the skin, improve skin texture and firmness, decreasing fine lines and wrinkles.

Peels also even out skin tone, improve pigmentation, acne-prone skin and reduce the appearance of pore size.

For best results we recommend the following…

• To reduce risk of complications, it is recommended that you use AlumierMD home care products for 10/14 days prior to your treatment.


• Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks prior to treatment.


• Avoid exfoliating your skin and the use of retinoid products (eg.Retinol, Retin A, Tazorac) and high levels of AHA and BHA products for approximately 7 days prior to treatment.


• Avoid any form of facial waxing and threading 7 days prior to your peel.

AlumierMD skin treatments result in minimal to no downtime but create dramatic and visible results. Treatments may cause slight redness, tightness, peeling, flaking or temporary dryness.

Due to the nature of these treatments, you should not necessarily expect to “peel”. However, you may have light to moderate flaking in a few areas for 3 to 7 days. You may also experience residual redness, which lasts in most patients from 1 to 12 hours. It is recommended that you do not apply makeup the day of your treatment. It is ideal to allow the skin to stabilise and rest overnight.

After your peel your skin may feel tight and “pulled”, it is likely that you will experience a light exfoliation. It may take 2 more treatments to target the deeper layers of skin to loosen and “peel”. In order to obtain maximum results and avoid complications.

After every peel treatment you have with us, you will receive a complimentary post peel procedure kit. You should ONLY use these products provided to you for the next 5 to 7 days.

In order to obtain maximum results and avoid complications please follow our recommendations below.

• Only use the products provided to you in your post procedure kit for 5 to 7 days post treatment.


• Keep your skin hydrated. Hydration is key to proper healing.


• DO NOT cleanse your skin in the evening of your peel.


• DO NOT pick or pull any flaking skin.


• DO NOT tan or use tanning beds for at least 14 days post peel.


• DO NOT have electrolysis, waxing threading or any other form of hair removal for 7days post treatment.


• DO NOT use facial scrubs or mechanical forms of exfoliation for 14 days post peel.


• DO NOT use retinoic acid, AHA or BHA for 14 days post peel.


• DO NOT have laser hair removal, photofacials, chemical peels or microdermabrasion for 14 days post peel.


• DO NOT apply ice or ice water on the treated area.


• DO NOT use hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas, and/or excessively hot showers for 2 days post peel.


• DO NOT go swimming for 2 days post peel.


• DO NOT participate in aerobic exercise for 2 days post peel.

Beautiful, healthy skin doesn’t happen overnight, and treatments take time to show results. A single chemical peel can provide the immediate effect of bright and radiant skin; however, more significant results in treating textural issues, fine lines and inflamed acne could take longer. For best results we would recommend a course of 3 to 6 depending on your skin concerns.

To achieve optimal results, we strongly advise to use home care products. Just as you take time to exercise you need to take time for your ‘daily skincare workout regimen’ in the morning and evening.
