Pre-Treatment Care for Pigment Peel

✅ One week before coming in, speak with your physician or Dr. David before stopping any prescription medications, and strictly avoid alcohol.
✅ Pause blood-thinning supplements to protect your skin barrier.
✅ Stop all retinols and active chemical skincare seven days before your visit.
✅ Arrive bare-faced.
✅ Plan for three to ten days of clinical and social downtime, with minor surface flushing followed by very fine flaking as your skin naturally sheds unwanted dark spots.

We are getting ready to target hyperpigmentation with your Pigment Peel, and proper prep ensures safety. One week before coming in, speak with your physician or Dr. David before stopping any prescription medications. Strictly avoid alcohol and pause blood-thinning supplements to protect your skin barrier. Stop all retinols and active chemical skincare seven days before your visit, and arrive bare-faced. Plan for a clinical and social downtime window of three to ten days. You may experience minor surface flushing followed by very fine flaking as your skin naturally sheds unwanted dark spots. Meticulous sun protection is absolute law this week, so have your mineral SPF fifty ready to go. If you have any other questions or concerns, contact our team at Magnolia Skin Center.
