By Bird of Paradise Skin Therapy | June 19, 2026
It’s completely normal to feel nervous before your first Personalized Advanced Peel Treatment. One of our specialists will be with you every step of the way, ensuring your comfort and answering any questions you have. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the treatment process, provide preparation tips, and offer aftercare advice to help you get the best results from your peel.
Essential Prep Steps Before Your Peel
Before your appointment, it’s important to stop using certain skincare products, especially those containing retinol or acids, about a week in advance. If you have specific concerns about your skin, let your specialist know during your booking. This way, we can ensure your treatment is perfectly suited to your needs. Staying hydrated and avoiding sun exposure also helps prepare your skin.
What Happens During Your First Session
When you arrive at our Woodland Hills location, you’ll be greeted warmly by our team. First, we’ll discuss your skin goals and any concerns you have. Then, we’ll cleanse your face thoroughly. Afterward, we’ll apply LED light therapy to prep your skin. Once that’s done, your personalized peel will be applied. You might feel a slight tingling sensation, but it should not be painful.
"I was a little nervous at first, but the attention to comfort made all the difference. I felt safe and taken care of!" - one of our regulars
The entire session, including a soothing mask afterward, takes about an hour. We’ll discuss what to expect in terms of recovery and results at the end.
Caring for Your Skin After the Peel
After your peel, you might notice some redness or slight sensitivity, which is completely normal. We usually recommend using a gentle cleanser and a reliable sunscreen to protect your skin in the sunny Woodland Hills climate. Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours to help your skin breathe.
Many clients say they start to see their skin's brightness return within a few days, bringing lasting changes that enhance their natural beauty.
Tips for a Successful Treatment and Closure
One of our insider tips is to communicate openly with your therapist, don’t hesitate to ask questions during your session. Many first-time clients find themselves coming back for more, saying the results exceeded what they expected!
