Procedure and Recovery
Your Chemical Peel begins with a thorough cleansing of your skin, followed by the careful application of a chemical solution tailored to your specific skin concerns. You may feel a tingling or warming sensation as the peel works to remove the outermost layers of the skin, revealing the smoother, healthier skin beneath.
Recovery varies with the intensity of the peel. Light peels may allow you to return to daily activities immediately, while deeper peels may require a few days of downtime as your skin heals and rejuvenates. It’s essential to follow post-procedure care, including sun protection, to ensure optimal results and skin health.
Chemical Peels are safe and effective, with potential side effects typically limited to temporary redness, peeling, and sensitivity. Our team ensures your treatment is delivered with the highest care to minimize any risks and promote a comfortable recovery.
