What to expect

You've just had your Herbal Green Peel. Unlike acid-based peels, this one uses a blend of plant enzymes and herbs to accelerate skin turnover with significantly less downtime. This guide covers what to expect over the next few days and how to protect the newly-surfaced skin.

Why this matters

The Green Peel works by stimulating circulation and accelerating cell turnover through botanical actives. Because the action is plant-based rather than acid-based, your skin's barrier stays intact — but the new layer surfacing is still freshly exposed and sensitive to sun, heat, and aggressive ingredients for the first 48 to 72 hours.

Post care

Allow the skin at least 30 minutes to settle before applying makeup. Waiting 24 hours is strongly preferred.
Resume your normal skincare routine the following morning.
Apply SkinBetter Science Tone Smart SPF 75 when outdoors.

Downtime

Skin will appear pink to red for the first 24 hours, then settle into a sunkissed, glowing appearance.
Mild tenderness to the touch may persist for 1–3 days.

Restrictions

Avoid sweating, strenuous exercise, saunas, and swimming for 24 hours.
Protect the skin from direct sun exposure for 48 hours.
Avoid all active skincare ingredients including AHAs, BHAs, and retinols for 3–4 days.

When to call the spa

Contact The Spa if you notice signs of infection including increasing redness, or severe or unexpected swelling, blistering, or pain.

Follow up

A series of treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended, followed by maintenance treatments to sustain your results.

An herbal alternative to acid-based chemical peels. Uses ground botanicals (eight herbs traditionally) massaged into the skin to create moderate exfoliation through mechanical action and plant-based actives—not acid chemistry. Excellent option for sensitive skin or melasma patients who don't tolerate aggressive acid peels.

What is the Herbal Green Peel?

No acid chemistry. The exfoliation comes from mechanical action of the herbs being massaged in plus plant compounds with mild active properties. Results similar to medium-depth acid peels but without acid-related risks. Particularly good for patients with sensitivity, melasma, or rosacea-adjacent concerns.

How is the Herbal Green Peel different from chemical peels?

Hyperpigmentation, melasma, texture concerns, fine lines, mild scarring, and overall renewal—particularly for patients who don't tolerate acid peels well. Also good for ongoing maintenance in patients with reactive skin.

What does the Herbal Green Peel treat?

Mild stinging during massage application—lasts a few minutes. Skin feels warm and tight afterward. Less intense than acid peels. Most patients describe it as more pleasant than expected.

Does the Herbal Green Peel hurt?

Recovery is about 2 days. Mild redness and flaking. Visible peeling resolves within a few days. Skin renewal is significant. Plan around social events—visible flaking is part of the result.

What's the downtime?

$275 per peel. A series of treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended, followed by maintenance treatments to sustain your results. Members receive discounted pricing.

How much does the Herbal Green Peel cost in Lubbock?

Yes—generally gentler than acid peels for melasma. Aggressive acid peels can sometimes trigger melasma flare; the herbal approach is less likely to cause this reaction. Still combine with strict sun protection and home regimen for best results.

Is the Herbal Green Peel safe for melasma?

A series of treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended, followed by maintenance treatments to sustain your results.

How often should I get the Herbal Green Peel?

Strict sun avoidance for 7–10 days. SPF 30+ daily. Heavy moisturizer. Skip retinoids and active acids for 10 days. Don't pick at peeling skin—let it shed naturally.
