What is a pre party peel ?

The best way to plan on a chemical peel is to decide how many days of down time you can afford and what areas you are treating.  I have many patients who come to the office before their wedding with the goal of "fixing" certain areas of concern before the "big day".  You have to make sure that you give yourself enough time before the event. There are all different strengths of chemical peels and the stronger the peel usually the longer it takes to resolve.  It is always best to have the peel at least one week before a big event to ensure that you stop peeling before.  Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green

With one month to spare before your party, you can discuss with your doctor or nurse virtually all the peels the office offers, as there is virtually full recovery from most peels in 1 week or 10 days.  As I have always said, a peel does exactly what it says:  you will peel.  The choice of peel will be determined by how much peeling you are willing to take, what skin conditions are being addressed and whether you are willing to consider series of peels.  For gentle peels, consider the Obagi Radiance Peel(not their Blue Peel), Glytone Peels, and Topix Light or Intermediate Peel Systems.
