YOUR RECOVERY, IN ORDER

What happens, and when

Here is the path from treatment day to final result.

Monthly Series

Compound the result

Best results come from a series of 3 to 4 peels spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Daily SPF and a gentle home regimen protect the new skin.

Days 2 to 5

Flaking phase

Active flaking and shedding as the herbal blend pushes out and exfoliates. Resist picking — let the new skin reveal itself at its own pace.

First 24 Hours

No washing

Do not wash the face for the first 24 hours. Use only the herbal activator and recovery products in your kit — nothing else touches the skin.

FAQ

Your questions, answered

We’ve answered some of the most common questions below to help make your experience simple, transparent, and stress-free.

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.
