Green Sea Peel
What is the Green Sea Peel?
The Green Sea Peel is a resurfacing treatment that is natural, safe for all fitzpatricks, and safe during pregnancy.
Spicules are quickly becoming the go-to alternative for microneedling (make sure to catch our blog below). This peel works by driving spicules (800,000 ppm) into the skin, which stimulates collagen, exfoliates, and pulls pigment, all while delivering a polypharmacy of vitamins and nutrients into the skin which helps improve numerous skin concerns.
Benefits:
Resurface the skin while stimulating collagen and elastin.
Removes sebum plugs and helps regulatesebum production.
Improves hyperpigmenation including melasma.
Safe for all skin types (tyrosinase inhibitor is recommended on those who are prone to PIH post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).

What can I expect?
DURING TREATMENT + IMMEDIATELY AFTER
A prickling sensation is to be expected. Numbing is
optional for sensitive clients. Redness of skin is very
normal. In fact, expect skin to get progressively more
red within the first 24 hours.
DAY 1-2
A prickling sensation is normal for up to 48 hours. Dry,
sandy feeling skin is also to be expected.
DAY 3-5
Prickling sensation subsides, and skin starts to flake.
Little bumps with water on the skin is normal when
doing a deep peel.
DAY 6-7
Less peeling and glowing skin
How many treatments do I need?
For maximum results, we recommend a series of 3 Peels every 2 weeks. You will most likely see some results after just one peel, but the more you do, the more results.
How long does the treatment take?
The peel takes about 20-30 minutes each session.
POSTCARE
THE FIRST 24 HOURS
Do not cleanse, apply moisturizer or SPF for best results
AVOID EXERCISE AND EXCESSIVE HEAT
For the first 72 hours it's important to not do anything which would heat the internal body temperature ie. sauna, exercising, hot showers
DO NOT EXFOLIATE
Do not exfoliate the skin for at least 7 days post peeling
DO NOT PICK OR PEEL
Do not pick or peel any skin, doing so may cause PIH
PROTECT
Stay out of the sun, and protect the skin by applying Light Aloe Moisturizer and SPF daily.
SESSIONS + INTERVALS
Peeling is individual and may start on day 2 or up to day 4. Each session can be done 10-14 days after peeling has finished.
ACCUTANE OR RETIN-A
Do not use on any clients who have used Accutane within a year.
Have clients stop using Retin-A at least 5 days before treatment depending on strength.
AGE RECOMMENDATION
Teens to adults may receive this treatment. However, due to lifestyle choices, it's advised to use caution on teens. Lack of proper aftercare can result in PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).
