Peels address many skin concerns. Two common issues are poor cell turnover that dulls the skin and secondly, problematic skin, specifically acne. Each problem has its own solution.

What can I expect during and after a chemical peel?

The chemical application for a peel follows similar steps. The only difference will be the type of acid solution used, the amount applied, and the period of time that it is left on the skin. Downtime depends on what kind of peel is done. There is no downtime for mild peels but for medium peels, patient will be in a healing process up to 7 days. After the treatment, it is important that the patient allow the peeling process to occur naturally and do not assist in peeling or pulling at the skin. It is also extremely important to avoid sun exposure for a period of time after the treatment.
