Chemical Peel Aftercare

Chemical Peel Aftercare
Instructions


Chemical peeling is an advanced skin care treatment preformed to treat skin concerns including pigmentation, acne, scarring and fine lines/wrinkles. Chemical peeling is a chemical resurfacing and deep exfoliating treatment to improve skin texture and tone and remove dead skin cells that make the skin appear dull.
Normal skin reactions include redness, stinging and tingling.
Skin complaints may look and feel worse before improvements are seen and a course of treatments are needed to gain desired results.
The following aftercare advice must be adhered to avoid any side effects or complications:

  • Refrain from touching your face with your hands for the next 8 hours.
  • Avoid peeling off any loose flakes of skin or peeling skin that may appear.
  • Avoid facial products containing fragrance for the next 3-5 days.
  • Avoid make up for the next 8 hours.
  • Do not scrub or exfoliate your skin or use resurfacing/peeling treatments for the next 2 weeks.
  • Use an intensive moisturiser for at least 1 week.
  • Always wear a SPF of at least 30 every day.
  • Avoid waxing, epilation, bleaching or laser hair removal for at least 3-5 days.
  • Avoid swimming, steam rooms or saunas for 3-5 days.
  • Always refrain from using sunbeds.

To maintain your skin or get optimal results from your advanced skin care treatment, your clinician may advise a skin care tailored to you.
