Chemical Peel FAQS
Find answers to common questions about preparing for your peel, downtime, aftercare, and expected results.
-
Please discontinue retinols, Retin-A, tretinoin, adapalene, benzoyl peroxide, and other exfoliating products at least 7–14 days before your peel. Avoid waxing, excessive exfoliation, and prolonged sun exposure for at least one week before your appointment. If you're unsure about a product, please contact us before your appointment.
-
Not always. Healthy Skin Renewal Peels may produce little to no visible peeling, while Corrective Chemical Peels often result in light flaking or shedding. Advanced Peel Treatments typically involve more noticeable peeling and downtime.
-
Most clients experience mild tingling, warmth, or a temporary stinging sensation during treatment. Every peel is carefully customized and closely monitored to keep you as comfortable as possible.
-
Every client receives personalized aftercare instructions based on the peel performed and your skin's individual needs. Post-peel home care products are also included when appropriate to support proper healing and optimal results.
-
Avoid excessive heat, strenuous exercise, swimming, hot tubs, saunas, and direct sun exposure for the time recommended after your treatment. Do not pick, peel, or exfoliate flaking skin, and follow your personalized aftercare instructions to support proper healing and achieve the best results.
-
This depends on the peel performed and how your skin responds. In most cases, makeup can be applied after 24 hours, but specific recommendations will be provided based on your treatment.
-
While many clients notice brighter, smoother, and healthier-looking skin after a single treatment, concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne scarring, and visible signs of aging often benefit from a series of 3–6 treatments. During your consultation, I'll recommend a customized treatment plan based on your skin's needs, concerns, and goals.
-
Yes. Chemical peels can be performed year-round when the appropriate peel is selected and proper sun protection is followed. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ and limiting direct sun exposure are essential before and after treatment.
-
Chemical peels may not be recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection, sunburn, open wounds, active cold sores in the treatment area, or are currently using or have recently used isotretinoin (Accutane). Certain medications, skin conditions, and recent procedures may also affect whether a chemical peel is appropriate for you. Your skin and health history will be evaluated before treatment to determine the safest and most appropriate option.
