4. Avoid undergoing other cosmetic procedures, such as laser treatments or microdermabrasion, close to your scheduled peel.
5. Inform your dermatologist about any medications, allergies, active acne, skin infections, cold sores or history of abnormal scarring.
6. Avoid scheduling a peel if you have sunburn, skin irritation or an active infection in the treatment area.
7. Keep your skin adequately moisturised and maintain a gentle skincare routine before the procedure.

Important. The preparation protocol varies depending on the type and depth of the chemical peel, your skin type and the condition being treated. Always follow the specific pre-procedure instructions provided during your consultation.
