The skin is penetrated by the chemical acid which generally causes some redness, darkening, swelling, and/or frosting (the skin turns opaque or powdery white) depending on the strength and type of peel applied.
After the acid is neutralized, skin will feel dry & tight for the first day or two. If a light strength peel was used, skin may become wrinkled & flakey. If a medium to deep peel was used, more aggressive peeling may start on the 4th or 5th day & typically last for 4 - 7 days.
Once the peeling slows down and stops, the skin begins the healing process. Outer layers may still be visibly pinkish. During this time it is especially important to protect this newly revealed skin with a broad band spf every day and moisturize at least twice daily with a hyaluronic moisturizer.

Strength Of Skin Peels
Superficial or light peels are the mildest type of chemical peel and can be used on all skin types. These mild peels remove only a small part of the epidermis or outer layer of skin and are most often used to improve the appearance of fine lines, mild scarring and minimal hyperpigmentation.
It is imperative that to safely and effectively prepare your skin for a chemical peel that you use a complete clinical skin care regimen for a minimum of 14 days. This prep period allows the skin to become use to different exfoliating ingredients and acids. Prepping the skin before hand also allows the melanin levels (color) in your skin to become regulated and receive the peel safely. The client needs to wear proper sunscreen during the prep period.
You will be asked to discontinue use of Retin A, Retinols, Vitamin A creams and other topic medications for 3-5 days before your chemical peel. It is required that you wear a sunscreen daily and use the appropriate home care topical products.
It is suggested when scheduling this treatment to allow some down time just in case the skin exfoliation is more than expected. Even though there may be anticipated peeling, the skin, at various stages of progress, may experience heavier sloughing. Usually this is never more than 1 or 2 days. However, some clients don’t peel at all and some can peel up to 10 days. Whether your skin peels a little, a lot or not at all doesn’t mean the treatment was or wasn’t affective. It is impossible to predict exactly what may happen to the skin. Listed is a general description of what to anticipate.
It’s always preferred that you show up with a fresh face to your esthetician appointment, however with a facial, you will receive a double cleanse, therefore you can arrive with makeup on. Please do not exfoliate 48 hours prior to your facial since you will receive thorough exfoliating with your facial if you are booking an advanced facial, please refer to those specific pre and post appointment instructions. A full client consultation is necessary before treatment. Make sure you completed and signed the peel consent form. Talk about the contraindications with you and your esthetician. You'll be provided with hair and eye protection.
Immediately following the treatment, the skin will feel very smooth and tight.
The skin will generally begin peeling in 2 to 3 days; however peeling can take place anytime for the next 7 days.
The skin does not always visibly peel. It may take 2 to 3 treatments for this to happen. There are many other advantages from a skin peel.
Benefits from these procedures may be smoother and softer skin, a healthier glow, less oil, more moisture, refined pores, an improvement in discoloration, diminished fine lines and increased acne control.
Please keep in mind that an average of 6 chemical peels are recommended each spaced 3 weeks apart to achieve significant improvement in the appearance and condition of the skin. After the series of treatments are completed to maintain the results the client should stay on a complete daily skin regimen and return every 4-8 weeks for a professional exfoliation treatment.
Do not cleanse skin for 12 hours after the peel.
Do not put face directly under hot shower.
Do not use Jacuzzis, steam rooms or saunas.
Do not participate in activities that would cause excessive sweating.
Do not use any scrubs or mechanical forms of exfoliation.
No scrubs, retinoic acids, AHA’s, BHA’s, or astringents until the skin has healed.
DO NOT PEEL OR PICK AT THE SKIN.
Superficial skin peeling is designed to remove epidermal layers of skin using an appropriate acid solution. This type of peeling is used to help “dry out” active acne, reduce shallow wrinkling and scarring, in some cases lighten hyper pigmented areas (dark patches), and to improve the overall appearance and health of sun- damaged and aging skin.
Before the acid is applied, it is necessary to prepare and de-fat the skin. This is accomplished in part by cleansing and using a prep solution. You may be given a small hand held fan which may lessen some of the stinging sensation when the solutions are applied. This discomfort lasts usually for about 5 to 10 minutes.
When the treatment is finished, the skin may have a frosted white appearance. This is caused from the solution and usually fades within a few hours. The skin may also be very red and will continue to redden and feel sensitive over the next 24 hours. The skin becomes very tight and dry and there may be very slight swelling. This is normal.
** The outcome of the peel depends solely on YOU! No picking at the skin. Do not expose treated areas to direct sunlight for 2 weeks. 4 weeks is better and never getting direct sun is, of course, optimal.
