Fall and winter mark the beginning of peel season, which is the perfect time to refresh and reset your skin. At Hiatus, we’re excited to offer two of our most advanced medical-grade treatments: the TCA Smart System and the Advanced Corrective Peel from SkinCeuticals. Think of these as skin renewal in a bottle, designed to deeply exfoliate, correct, and transform your complexion.

These treatments offer the deepest level of exfoliation in our peel portfolio, and with that comes real results but also a bit of expected downtime. Don’t worry, our licensed estheticians will walk you through the entire process, from prepping your skin to post-peel care, ensuring a safe and effective experience that delivers visible and long lasting results.

Why Peel Now?

As sun exposure naturally decreases during the cooler months, your skin is better protected during the healing and rejuvenation process that follows a peel. This makes fall and winter the ideal time to tackle:

• Sun damage
  
  
• Discoloration
  
  
• Textural irregularities
  
  
• Fine lines and wrinkles
  
  
• Stubborn hyperpigmentation
  ‍

What Happens During the Treatment?

You can expect:

• Frosting of the skin (a temporary whitening effect that signals the exfoliation process)
  
  
• Redness (erythema) as the skin reacts to the peel
  
  
• A warm, tingling/stingle sensation- which is completely normal
  
  

‍

Post-Peel Downtime: What to Expect

Downtime is an essential part of the skin transformation journey. After your peel, you may experience:

• Peeling or sheet peeling of the skin
  
  
• Flaking
  
  
• Temporarily Increased sensitivity
  
  

This is a sign the peel is working and is shedding dull, damaged layers to reveal fresher, brighter skin underneath. Some or all side effects may occur- but don’t worry, if they don’t present physically, it doesn’t mean the treatment is ineffective! Everyone’s tolerance, skin sensitivity, and side effects may vary.

Pre- and Post-Treatment Care

To ensure the best results, your esthetician will create a customized pre-treatment regimen to prepare your skin for the peel. This often includes active ingredients to gently accelerate cell turnover and ensure the peel penetrates evenly.

After your peel, you’ll be provided with a personalized post-care plan to:

• Soothe and nourish the skin
  
  
• Promote healing
  
  
• Prolong your results
  
  

And remember—SPF is non-negotiable. Even during cooler months, sun protection is vital to prevent hyperpigmentation and protect your skin’s renewed surface.
