How will my provider choose the right chemical peel for me?

Your provider will evaluate your skin, medical history, current skincare routine, and concerns before recommending a treatment.Because different acids target different concerns, your peel can be customized based on whether your primary goal is improving pigmentation, acne, texture, fine lines, sun damage, or overall skin brightness.

Question 7

Will my skin actually peel?

It depends on the type and strength of the peel.Some chemical peels cause visible flaking or peeling for several days, while lighter treatments may produce very little visible shedding. The amount of peeling does not necessarily determine how effective the treatment was.

Question 8

What should I expect after a chemical peel?

Your skin may initially feel tight, dry, warm, or sensitive. Depending on the peel performed, you may also experience redness, flaking, or visible peeling over the following days.As the treated skin naturally sheds, the complexion underneath may appear smoother, brighter, and more even.

Should I pull off peeling skin?

Is there downtime after a chemical peel?
