If you’re receiving a deep peel you will need to arrange for a ride home. At the time of booking your appointment, our team will discuss any medications you need to take or stop taking before your appointment. Also, make sure to share whether you have a history of cold sores when scheduling your session as chemical peels can stimulate cold sore outbreaks.
