Prior to your chemical peel procedure, it’s important to take certain precautions to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications. Avoid any strenuous exercising on the day of your procedure and until your skin stops peeling. Additionally, steer clear of direct sunlight for at least 1 week and use sunscreen with at least SPF 30, as recommended by your provider. Refrain from using the following products or undergoing specific procedures until your skin stops peeling completely: Tretinoin, retinoids, alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) products, bleaching creams, facials, injections, facial hair removal, injectable fillers, microdermabrasion, and laser treatments (including laser hair removal). These precautions will help ensure a smooth and successful chemical peel experience.

Following a chemical peel, patients can typically expect some degree of skin redness, irritation, and peeling. This is a normal part of the skin rejuvenation process as the old, damaged skin is shed to reveal fresh, smoother skin underneath. The extent of these side effects can vary depending on the type and depth of the peel performed. It’s important to follow post-peel care instructions provided by your provider to ensure proper healing and maximize results. This may include using gentle skincare products, avoiding sun exposure, and moisturizing regularly. In general, most patients experience noticeable improvements in skin texture, tone, and clarity in the weeks following the peel, with optimal results typically seen after a series of treatments.

The number of chemical peel treatments needed can vary depending on several factors, including the specific concerns being addressed, the depth of the peel, and individual skin response. While some patients may see noticeable improvement after just one treatment, others may require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. During your consultation, your provider will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Regular maintenance treatments may also be recommended to maintain and enhance your results over time.
