Skyn & Laser Treatments
Peels come in a variety of types and strengths, which allows Dr.Gill to tailor each treatment. Peels are the corner stone of treatments to change the structure of your skyn. Chemical peels help with acne, anti-aging, fine lines, hyperpigmentation and skyn tightening. You can choose from a light, medium or deep peel depending on skyn type and lifestyle.
PRODUCTS OR PROCEDURES TO AVOID BEFORE A CHEMICAL PEEL:
Seven days prior to the peel avoid waxing, electrolysis, depilatory creams, and laser hair removal. 5-7 days prior to the peel discontinue using any prescription topicals such as Retin-A, differin or Tazorac, as well as any products containing retinol, alpha hydroxyl acids (AHA), beta hydroxyl acids (BHA) or benzoyl peroxide. Patients who have had any medical cosmetic facial treatments or procedures such as Laser treatments, cosmetic fillers, or other surgical procedures should wait until skin sensitivity has completely resolved before receiving a peel.
POST CHEMICAL PEELS:
Avoid exfoliating, using products containing Retin-A (Retinol, Retinoic acid, and Vitamin A), or acid containing products (AHA or BHA) for 7 days pre and post treatment.
CHEMICAL PEEL CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Chemical peels should be avoided if any of the following conditions are present: active cold sores, herpes simplex or warts in the area to be treated, sunburned skyn, excessively sensitive skyn, sores present, Accutane use within the last year, recent chemotherapy or radiation therapy, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, patients with Vitiligo or with a history of autoimmune disease (such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, lupus, multiple sclerosis etc) or any condition that may weaken their immune system – please consult with your medical professional to see if Chemical peels are safe for you.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) Therapy or Photo Rejuvenation allows us to receive a similar type of light energy to what the sun delivers to plants throughout photosynthesis, but without the harmful UV rays. This can in turn aid in the skyn’s healing process, stimulates collagen and elastin, promotes cellular regeneration, reduces pore size, and may diminish fine lines over time.

IPL (Intense Pulse Light) is a non-ablative skyn rejuvenation treatment designed to treat specific skyn conditions with minimal discomfort or downtime. This treatment can diminish sun spots, age spots, hyperpigmentation, Rosacea, redness and vascular lesions.
POST IPL | PHOTO FACIAL TREATMENTS:
You may use lukewarm or cool water to wash your face (or the treated area). Cool to moderately cold water is preferred. You may take a cold (or cool) towel compress for comfort. DO NOT use hot or ice water to wash your face.
Apply a generous amount of a good moisturizer and an SPF 30 or greater with a high zinc oxide content during the next 24 hours after treatment. You may re-apply multiple times a day for comfort. This helps promote healthy skyn and maximize healing.
Avoid working out for 3 days. Thermal heat & energy is remodeling the skyn to reduce vascular, brown, and red lesions.
We recommend using 2-3 pillows under your head while sleeping. The elevation will help prevent potential swelling around the eye area. If swelling persists for more than 3 days, please contact us.
Avoid Retin-A, products containing acid, or scrubs for 3-10 days PRE and POST treatment. (Non-acid based products only please)
Inform The Skyn Boutique of all medications that you have used in the last month.
Absolutely NO picking please! Dark spots will fall off naturally. Do not pick, rub, or use any products on your skyn except a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and an SPF of 30 or greater. Cleanse morning and evening, follow up with a good moisturizer.
Makeup can be applied.
Sun exposure without SPF 30 or greater is not advised, as this will defeat the point of this treatment.
Inflammation and bruising may occur after the treatment. This is normal and usually resolves in 3-10 days Improvement is to be expected over the next month.
Follow up treatments are recommended 3-4 weeks.
Laser Genesis provides laser skyn rejuvenation by evening out skyn texture and tone. Collagen that has been broken down over the years actually begins to rebuild itself. Additionally, Laser Genesis increases circulation making this treatment a “red carpet ready skyn treatment” providing an instant skyn glow. Genesis minimizes pore size, shrinks the oil glands, and therefore reducing the production of sebum that can cause breakouts. Good for ALL skyn types. Please note that Laser Genesis like many other skyn treatments takes several times for the most effective results.
POST TREATMENT:
You may have redness, mild swelling, and itching up to 48 hours post treatment. You may apply cool compress.
Avoid direct sunlight and please use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
Do not apply make-up until redness has subsided.
