CONSENT FORM FOR EPIDERMAL PEELS
(SALICYLIC ACID OR GLYCORIC ACID)
Our superficial peels usually result in little to no downtime. Our professional strength acids are performed as part of a
corrective treatment designed to give the skin the maximum exfoliation with minimum irritation.
What can I expect to feel during the acid application?
A stinging or burning sensation is felt by most individuals, however, depending on your skin’s own sensitivity level, you
may experience very little to no sensation at all. You do not have to experience a “sensation” to obtain results.
What can I expect in the days following my treatment?
Side effects vary among individuals. Some clients will have no visible side effects; peels can lighten, tighten, and
brighten skin even if the client does not experience any peeling. Other clients may experience tightness, mild flaking and
temporary dryness, mild redness, small blisters and mild scabbing. You are not to pick skin if it begins to flake or peel as
this could cause trauma to the skin, resulting in hyperpigmentation or scarring.
What difference can I expect to see in my skin?
Although no guarantee is made as to the outcome, most people feel the skin is much smoother after the first treatment.
With subsequent treatments, in combination with the recommended homecare, it is not uncommon to see dark spots fade,
fine lines become minimized, fewer blackheads, oil production can seem lighter and breakouts fewer. Usually, a series of
peels are recommended, followed by monthly maintenance peels.
