A chemical peel is an exfoliation treatment that uses hydroxy acids to kill surface skin cells in order to stimulate new skin cells from below to desquamate and make their way up to the surface of the skin revealing a smoother, brighter complexion.
Depending on what we are aiming to treat and what type of peel being used recovery time and affects will vary greatly from barely noticeable to moderately flaking skin. Some pinkness could be visable for a day or two.
Sensations during the treatment will vary from slight warming and tingling to more intense heating and stinging which subsides after a few minutes.
We suggest wearing only mineral makeup after your peel.
YES! Do not go out into direct sun for 2 weeks and wear sunscreen at all times when stepping outside.
