Pre & POST Care COOLPEEL

Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanner on the treatment area for at least 10–14 days prior.

Sun-exposed or recently tanned skin increases sensitivity and the risk of unwanted pigment changes.

Stop using the following on the treatment area 3–5 days prior:

• Retinol / Retinoids 
• Exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) 
• Benzoyl peroxide 
• Any aggressive or sensitizing products 

Your skin should be calm and balanced before treatment.

Avoid for at least 1–2 weeks prior:

• Chemical peels 
• Microneedling 
• Laser treatments 
• Aggressive facials or exfoliation 

This allows the skin barrier to fully recover before resurfacing.

In the days leading up to your appointment:

• Use gentle, hydrating skincare 
• Avoid over-exfoliating 
• Focus on barrier support 

Well-prepared skin responds more predictably to treatment.

On the day of your appointment:

• No makeup 
• No lotions or oils 
• No sunscreen on the treatment area 

Skin should be clean and product-free.

Please inform us if you:

• Are taking antibiotics or photosensitizing medications 
• Have active breakouts, irritation, or inflammation 
• Have had recent sun exposure 

This helps us determine if treatment should proceed or be adjusted.

On the day of your appointment, avoid:

• Saunas 
• Steam rooms 
• Intense workouts 

This keeps the skin calm and reduces sensitivity.

CoolPeel® is a controlled resurfacing treatment, but preparation is especially important for melanin-rich or pigment-sensitive skin.

Proper pre-care helps:

• Reduce inflammation risk 
• Support even healing 
• Minimize post-treatment pigment changes 

Keep your skin calm. Stay out of the sun. Avoid actives.

You may experience:

• Mild redness 
• Warmth or sensitivity 
• A tight or dry feeling 

These responses are expected and typically subside within a few days.

Avoid:

• Hot showers or baths 
• Saunas or steam rooms 
• Intense workouts 
• Excessive heat or sweating 

This helps minimize inflammation and supports proper healing.

Use only:

• Gentle cleanser 
• Hydrating, barrier-supporting products 

Avoid for at least 3–5 days:

• Retinol / Retinoids 
• Exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) 
• Benzoyl peroxide 
• Scrubs or active treatments 

Your skin may feel dry or slightly rough as it renews.

• Keep the skin well hydrated 
• Do not pick, peel, or exfoliate prematurely 
• Allow the skin to naturally shed and smooth 

Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 10–14 days.

If exposure is unavoidable:

• Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily 
• Reapply consistently 

Sun exposure during healing can increase the risk of pigment changes.

• Makeup can typically be worn within 24–48 hours if the skin feels comfortable 
• Resume normal activities once redness and sensitivity have subsided 

For melanin-rich or pigment-sensitive skin, post-care is essential.

Managing heat, inflammation, and sun exposure helps:

• Support even healing 
• Reduce the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation 
• Protect long-term results 

Skin will gradually appear:

• Smoother 
• More refined 
• More even in tone 

Results continue to improve as collagen stimulation develops over time.

Contact us if you experience:

• Prolonged redness or irritation 
• Unusual skin reactions 
• Any concerns during healing 

Hydrate. Protect. Let your skin renew.
