Cancellation Policy
We all have hectic schedules and unexpected things come up from time to time. However, when it comes to canceling appointments, it's crucial to keep in mind that time is valuable, especially for small businesses. As such, our cancellation policy requires at least a 24-hour notice if you need to cancel your appointment. To make things easier, you can cancel by calling us at 404-919-9058 or through the appointment reminder you receive. While we understand that emergencies can happen, failing to cancel your appointment within the timeframe will result in a charge of 50% of the booked service. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation and always strive to provide exceptional service.
What to Know Before a Peel (Peel Policy)
General guidelines after receiving a PCA SKIN® superficial treatment:
​
-
It is recommended to delay use of tretinoin, Retin-A®, Differin®, Renova®, Tazorac®, Avage®, EpiDuo®, or Ziana® five days prior post-procedure. Consult your physician before temporarily discontinuing use of any prescription medications.
-
It is recommended to consult your doctor if you are prone to cold sores prior to treatment as chemical peels can initiate an outbreak in some people.
-
After receiving a PCA SKIN® professional treatment, you should not necessarily expect to “peel.” However, light flaking in a few localized areas for several days is typical. Most patients who undergo these treatments have residual redness for approximately one to 12 hours post-procedure.
-
As with all peels and treatments, it is recommended that makeup not be applied the day of treatment, as it is ideal to allow the skin to stabilize and rest overnight; however, makeup may be applied 15 minutes after the treatment if desired.
-
To minimize side effects and maximize results, use The Post-Procedure Solution for three to five days or until flaking has resolved.
-
If the skin feels tight, apply ReBalance for normal to oily skin types or Silkcoat® Balm for drier skin types to moisturize as needed. For maximum hydration, you can apply Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum under ReBalance or Silkcoat® Balm.
-
Moisturizer should be applied at least twice a day, but can be applied more frequently for hydration and to decrease the appearance of flaking.
-
It is recommended that other topical, over-the-counter medications, or alpha hydroxy acid products not be applied to the skin seven days post-procedure,
as they may cause irritation. -
Avoid direct sun exposure and excessive heat. Use Active Protection Body Broad Spectrum SPF 30, Weightless Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 45, Daily Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50+, Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum SPF 30, Active Broad Spectrum SPF 45, or Sheer Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 45 for broad spectrum
UV protection. -
Do not go to a tanning bed for at least two weeks post-procedure. This practice should be discontinued due to the increased risk of skin cancer and signs of aging.
-
Do not pick or pull on any loosening or peeling skin. This could potentially cause hyperpigmentation.
