What is the treatment like?
Most patients experience a warm to hot sensation which may last as long as ten minutes. There is no PAIN.
What should you expect after treatment?
Reactions to chemical peels are similar to a sunburn and range from mild to more pronounced. Generally, the deeper the peel, the longer the recovery.
A light peel usually results in some redness, and peeling starts after 48 hours and lasts for 2 days.
Following any skin peel, it is important that you avoid any exposure to the sun. Your new skin is very sensitive and susceptible to injury. Always apply a wide spectrum (UVA and UVB blocking) sunblock of at least SPF 15 twenty minutes before you go outside. Your provider will prescribe a proper home skin care program to ensure proper healing.
