Depending on the depth of the peel, the preparation could be minimal or more involved.  For shallower peels, no preparation is required.  With more potent peels, you will need to provide medical clearance from your family physician.  You will also be asked to apply a solution of Retin A and hydroquinone for the weeks prior to your peel, to be ended two weeks before your procedure date.  You will be given instructions as to how to prepare for the specific procedure you have chosen, and might be given prescriptions to be filled in advance.  For those patients who live beyond a 50-mile radius of New York City and wish to have deeper peels, Dr. Weintraub sometimes advises a two-night post-operative stay at The Mark or The Carlyle Hotel, where his patients are given a special reduced rate, and where he will visit you after your procedure.  A private nurse can also be provided.
