What to Expect
On the day of your appointment, inform your provider if you’re taking any medications that make your skin more sensitive, like antibiotics, Accutane, or steroid creams. The process of applying the chemical solution onto the skin can cause a slight tingling sensation which lasts a few seconds. Afterward, patients should expect some redness and mild flakiness that could last up to several days. Do not pick or scratch the skin; instead, generously moisturize and wear sunscreen daily to protect against UV damage. Follow the aftercare instructions provided to ensure long-lasting benefits.
Cost
The cost of chemical peels varies depending on where you get the service, the concentration and type of acid used, and the number of treatments required.
How to Prepare
Speak to our Medical Aesthetician about any questions you may have regarding the procedure, its side effects, and aftercare. It is important to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds during this time and discontinue use of products containing glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or retinol for at least one week prior to treatment. Do not shave or wax the area being treated 24-48 hours before your appointment.
