Chemical Peel Aftercare

After Your Chemical Peel

  • The day after the procedure your skin may feel tight, this is normal.

  • 3 to 14 days out, flaking and peeling may occur, although not required to achieve optimal results.

  • All peel procedures may cause sensitivity to heat and sun for several days.

  • Follow post-peel aftercare instructions for optimal results.

Post-Procedure Care

  • DO NOT rub, scratch, or pull on the areas that were treated.

  • Avoid using products with retinoids, AHAs, or BHAs until the skin has completely healed.
