:: What is required for Chemical Peels
You may be placed on a home care programme for at least 2-3 weeks prior to your first peel. This is important, as your skin must be prepared for the peel.
The home care programme will consist of a selection of products, which will introduce your skin to the program. This plays an important part of the overall peel procedure, as continuous home care programme is important in the success of your peels.
A factor 30 sun block is always included in the home care programme.
Superficial peels result in mild facial redness and occasional swelling but this usually resolves within 48 hours.
Medium peels result in a more intense redness and possible swelling, which usually has a recovery time of 5-10 days.
:: Chemical Peel side effects
During the treatment you may experience a mild stinging sensation, which will disappear quickly.
Some pinkness may occur depending on the sensitivity of the skin. In some instances flaking of the skin after your peel is normal, this should subside during the first few days post peel.
