Your comfort is a top priority. Your aesthetician should go over what to expect with the peel you will be receiving.
The strength of the chemical peel will determine the activity or sensations you feel on your skin. Common activities you may feel during peel application include:
- Itching, prickling and/or heat
- Flushing and slight swelling
- Possible tenderness and sensitivity
- Tightness
These sensations are only temporary and are part of your skin's natural reaction to the chemical peel.
During a peel treatment
- Your skin is typically cleansed twice. The first cleanse removes dirt, oil, and debris. The second cleanse actually cleans and prepares your skin for treatment.
- The aesthetician applies a pre-treatment solution. This will feel wet and possibly tingly.
- Your aesthetician will ask you how much activity you feel on your skin. This will be used as a scale to determine your comfort level during the treatment.
- The chemical solution will then be applied. It will either be applied and left on the skin or done in layers, depending on the type of peel. Once the solution has been on the skin long enough, your aesthetician will remove it.
- The aesthetician will apply post-treatment products to calm and heal the skin.
- You will need to care for your skin for the next 7 – 14 days using your aesthetician's recommended home care regimen. Half of the results from the treatment will be achieved in the clinic, but the other half is up to you and how you care for your skin.
