The Chemical Peel Process
1
Consultation
We’ll start by discussing your skincare concerns, as well as your goals, and developing a personalized treatment plan to help you reach them. Our esthetician will also recommend the number of sessions and other possible treatment options to help you achieve the skin of your dreams.

Treatment
Your esthetician will prepare your skin by cleansing your face and, if desired, neck and décolleté. Once your skin is cleansed and toned, a fine layer of the chemical peel solution is applied to the desired areas. Depending on the peel, it will sit on the skin for 3-5 minutes. Your esthetician will then neutralize your skin thoroughly with the appropriate solution. If your skin is red, dry, or still reacting from the peel, your esthetician may apply a quick facial mask to meet any of your skin’s needs post-peel.

Results
After a chemical peel, your skin’s reaction and healing time will vary based on the type of peel chosen by your esthetician. For mild peels, expect slight pinkness for about 24 hours and possible dryness, especially if targeting acne. Use the recommended products like moisturizer, retinol, or corrective treatments as advised. For more advanced peels, you may experience flaking and peeling for up to 10 days. Avoid picking at your skin to prevent scarring, and use the suggested products. Applying sunscreen is crucial to avoid sunburn and irritation post-peel.

Additionally, it’s important to evaluate the financial and time commitments, including potential alternative treatments like microdermabrasion or laser resurfacing, to ensure you choose the best option for your skincare needs.
