• It is a good option for those who want to avoid harsh acids found in chemical peels.

• It can be suitable for many skin types, including those with sensitive skin, although a consultation is highly recommended for pre and post treatment care. Please book a peel consult before your first appointment.

While most clients typically do not undergo peeling, some individuals might encounter minor flakiness for a day or two following the treatment. A green sea peel treatment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, and the aftercare focuses on hydration and sun protection while the skin heals over the course of 5–7 days. Immediately after the procedure, you should expect to feel a prickly, tingling, or warm sensation, and your skin may be red and tight.  We also do not recommend washing the face for 24 hours after the peel treatment.

In addition to marine sponge spicules, formulas for green sea peels often include a nourishing activator solution to maximize benefits and soothe the skin. Common ingredients include: 

• Algae extract: Provides hydration and antioxidant protection.

• Hyaluronic acid: Deeply hydrates and plumps the skin.

• Allantoin: An ingredient known for its healing and soothing properties.

• Minerals: Sea-derived zinc, calcium, and copper support wound healing and stimulate collagen synthesis.

• Vitamins: Including Vitamin D, which acts as an antimicrobial agent. 

Shellfish or algae allergy: Since the spicules are derived from marine sponges, there is a risk of an allergic reaction for people with shellfish or algae allergies

This treatment is for established clients or clients that have booked the pre-peel consultation.

Pre-peel Consultation- $60

In-person consultation is essential for first-time clients, at least 1 week before treatment, to ensure proper skin preparation for these treatments. During the consultation, we will conduct an in-depth assessment of your skin, discuss treatment preparation, and outline a personalized skincare protocol, with the consultation fee applied to your future treatments if you choose to proceed. This peel consult includes a gift of a full size peel prep serum. ( worth $50)

The treatment is repeated once monthly (or bi-weekly depending on your skin concerns) for the necessary number of sessions, with a minimum of 2 treatments. Some clients with deeper pigmentation, scarring or acne may need more than 3 sessions or also have one microneedling session in between sessions.

After the 3-4 sessions clients typically wait 3 months before adding another peel treatment.

Post treatment care is very important in the efficacy of this peel.

What to expect immediately after treatment

• Day 1–2: The prickly, tight, and warm sensation continues as the spicules from the marine sponge dissolve and stimulate cell turnover. Redness and inflammation are also normal and should subside within 24 to 48 hours.

• Day 2–4: Mild peeling or flaking will likely begin. The skin may feel rough and flaky, similar to a sunburn. It is crucial to let the skin shed naturally.

• Day 5–7: Peeling continues, revealing smoother, brighter, and fresher skin underneath. Any sensitivity or redness should be greatly reduced. 

Aftercare instructions

Proper aftercare is essential for achieving the best results and avoiding complications like scarring or hyperpigmentation. Your esthetician may provide a specific aftercare kit, but these general guidelines should be followed: 

• First 24–48 hours: Avoid sweating, intense workouts, hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms. Many providers also recommend skipping cleansing and all other skincare products during this time to allow the spicules to fully absorb into the skin.

• Sun protection: Your skin will be sensitive to the sun. Avoid direct sunlight for at least a week, and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, reapplying every two hours.

• Avoid picking or scratching: Do not pick at, scratch, or forcibly exfoliate any peeling or flaking skin. Let it shed completely on its own to prevent scarring.

• Gentle hydration: Use a gentle, hydrating, and fragrance-free moisturizer with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides to soothe the skin barrier.

• No harsh products: For at least one week, avoid using any scrubs, harsh exfoliants, acids, or retinoids.

• Makeup: Wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to let your skin breathe and heal.

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support your skin's healing process from the inside out
