Chemical Peels
Before we begin, these peels and peel series are only for clients who have been in to TruePenny Studio for a consultation or facial, and are on a professional home care regimen. Peels are best done when used in conjunction with the right products and ingredients being used at home. Applying peels without proper prep and home care will not give you the results that you desire. Ethically, we pride ourselves in always doing what is best for our clients.
With that being said, All the peels we offer can be curated to your exact skin needs. We are able to customize these peels using a variety of ingredients and how they are applied. I know seeing the word "chemical" can be scary, especially when thinking about applying it to our skin, but water is a chemical too and we apply that to our skin every day! So I like to think of them as Resurfacing Peels in lieu of the big scary C word. Have a question!? Make sure to contact me and I will help answer any questions or concerns you have!
PEEL SEASON IS UPON US
-
Do I have to book a New Client Consultation first?You can book any facial to start out, this is simply an option if you’re unsure of what to book or would like a longer consultation to address any skin concerns and come up with a custom regimen.
-
I have multiple skin concerns, can we address all of them in one facial?Absolutely! Our treatments aren’t one size fits all and we can fully customize the treatment to target multiple skin concerns!
-
Will one facial achieve the results I desire?While results can be seen after just one facial, depending on the skin type and concern, multiple facials are usually required to achieve desired results. Monthly maintenance is suggested for optimal skin health.
-
Will my hair grow back thicker from dermaplaning?No. I promise it won't. It won't ever ever ever grow back thicker. I swear on my own mother.
-
Isn't skincare just for women?The biggest reason to open up my own business and pour my whole life into this endeavor is to show the world that ALL PEOPLE NEED SKINCARE. We all have skin and it is literally our biggest organ... so why do women only need to take care of it? It is for everybody. Everybody needs to take care of their physical and mental health, and your skin is part of your physical AND mental health. I am here to help you with whatever your skin needs and will never judge or shame anybody walking into my doors.

Make sure to fill out forms that are auto sent to you when you schedule your appointment.
The Day Of
Arrive with little to no makeup if possible. Make sure you filled out your consultation forms prior, if not arrive 10 minutes early to fill them out. Make sure you have no plans to workout or sit in a sauna afterwards
Post Peel
No need to do your skincare routine that night, let all the good things soak in and one less thing on your to-do list! Drink lots of water. Wear SPF daily.
Follow the instructions in your follow up email on how to use your post care kit.
Why Peel?
If you are wanting a truly corrective skin treatment that targets acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and texture, a chemical peel will be one of your best options. Most noticeable changes in the skin appear after a series of peels. Typically a series of 3-5 can be recommended depending on your skin goals.
PS! The goal isn't to peel your whole face off. Peels are much more sophisticated these days, and even if you don't see visible peeling don't think that those ingredients didn't do their job. Everybody's skin is different and will react slightly different to each peel each time!
