During the week before treatment with chemical peels, you should refrain from sunbathing and depilation of the treatment area. During this time, you should also refrain from using skin-irritating preparations: peels or agents with retinoids. Men should refrain from shaving on the day of treatment. When preparing for a chemical peel treatment, it is advisable to plan your visit well. Preparations based on salicylic, glycolic or pyruvic acid should not be used in seasons with high sunlight if you will be frequently exposed to it in the treatment area.
