How a Chemical Peel Works
During a chemical peel, a specialized solution is applied to the skin to exfoliate and remove its outer layers. Depending on your unique needs and the type of peel selected, this can range from a mild treatment targeting the surface to deeper peels addressing more significant skin concerns.
Your session will begin with a consultation to discuss your skin goals and determine the best type of peel for you. Once your skin is prepared, the chemical solution is gently applied. You may feel a slight tingling or warming sensation as the product takes effect. After the designated time, the solution is either neutralized or removed, and calming products are applied to support your skin’s recovery.
What to Expect After Treatment
Post-treatment, it’s normal to experience temporary redness and mild sensitivity, similar to a sunburn. Depending on the depth of the peel, you might also notice light peeling or flaking as the skin renews itself. The recovery period varies: lighter peels typically involve minimal downtime, while deeper peels may require more time for your skin to heal.
Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding direct sun exposure, applying sunscreen, and using gentle, hydrating skincare products. Adhering to these guidelines is essential for protecting your skin and achieving optimal results.
