What to Expect after a Chemical Peel

Embracing the Experience: Your Chemical Peel Journey

At Aesthetics at 51, I ensure you have a comfortable and informed experience with each treatment. A chemical peel is an effective method for deeply rejuvenating the skin, and like any skincare procedure, it's crucial to understand the natural responses your skin may exhibit.

Typical Sensations:

Slight Redness: It's common to notice some redness immediately after a chemical peel. This normal reaction to the exfoliation typically fades quickly.

Sensitivity: Your skin may feel more sensitive than usual, a typical response to the peeling process.

Peeling: You might observe mild to moderate peeling, depending on the intensity of the peel, which helps reveal fresher, rejuvenated skin.

Duration of Sensations:

These side effects are generally minimal and short-lived, often resolving within a few days post-treatment. The rapid recovery is one of the critical benefits of undergoing a chemical peel.

Aftercare Tips:

Keep your skin hydrated after the treatment and use gentle, nourishing skincare products.

Avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week, and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen diligently.

Refrain from using abrasive skincare products or treatments for a short period post-treatment to allow your skin to heal.

When to Seek Advice:

If you experience any unusual or prolonged side effects, please contact me immediately. Addressing any concerns early ensures that your skin remains healthy and radiant.

Positive Outcome:

The benefits of a chemical peel, such as improved texture, reduced fine lines, and a brighter complexion, often outweigh the minor and temporary side effects. Rest assured, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and rewarding chemical peel experience, helping you achieve the beautiful, glowing skin you deserve.
