CHEMICAL PEEL faq’s

  • Chemical Peels WORK! They resurface the skin by inducing a controlled wound & thus removing superficial layers of the skin. As a result, chemical peels promote growth of new healthy top skin layer & improve skin problems like hyperpigmentation, age spots, fine lines & wrinkles, uneven texture & skin impurities. Best results are achieved after you’ve completed a full series of 4-6 peels along with proper home care.

  • Your skin is prepped using a professional skin degreaser to ensure the treated area is free of oils left on the skin. The chemical agent is then applied. Most feel temporary mild stinging which usually subsides after a few minutes. Some peels are designed to self neutralize and may remain on your skin for a few hours.

  • Recovery times will vary based on the type and strength of the peel. You will be given specific instructions after peel.

    Important common Post Peel Rules:

    Gentle cleanser, moisturize & mineral SPF to protect your skin, & enhance healing process & results.

    REAPPLY SPF + AVOID SUN as much possible!

    Allow skin to slough off naturally; DO NOT PICK or PEEL off any flaking skin, as it may lead to scarring!!

  • The success of the peel should not be judged by the amount of peeling, but by the end results. The amount of peeling may vary depending on individual skin conditions at the time of the peel &/or depth of the peel.

    Regardless of the peeling, the skin is still sloughing off at an accelerated rate, resulting in improvement of skin tone, texture, fine lines and uneven pigmentation.

  • You will be given specific instructions to follow at booking.

  • ​Chemical peels should be avoided if you have or had:

    • Major surgery in the past 6 months

    • Active cold sores, herpes simplex or warts in the area to be treated
