If you have never had a chemical peel, the process can seem intimidating. Understanding what happens at each stage helps you feel confident and prepared for your first experience.
Before your peel, we assess your skin type, concerns, and sensitivity during a consultation. We may recommend starting with a lighter peel (glycolic or lactic acid) for your first treatment. Discontinue retinol products 3-5 days before your appointment. Arrive with clean, product-free skin.
During the peel, your clinician cleanses your skin and applies the acid solution. You may feel tingling, warmth, or a mild stinging sensation - this is normal and indicates the acids are working. The solution is left on for a specific time period, then neutralized and removed. The entire process takes 20-40 minutes.
After a light peel, you may experience mild redness and tightness for a few hours. With a medium peel, expect 3-7 days of peeling and sensitivity. Follow your aftercare instructions carefully: use gentle cleanser and moisturizer, apply SPF 30+ daily, avoid picking or peeling the skin, and skip active ingredients like retinol until fully healed.
