Recovery After Your Chemical Peel
Recovery and downtime depend on the depth of your specific treatment, but the primary goal is to protect your fresh, new skin as it emerges. For a light chemical peel, you can expect a quick healing period of one to seven days. During this time, your skin may appear slightly red or undergo subtle flaking, similar to a mild sunburn. Medium chemical peels involve a deeper rejuvenation process, with the skin typically healing within seven to ten days.
During the recovery phase, it is essential to keep your skin hydrated and strictly avoid direct sun exposure, as your new skin cells will be particularly sensitive to UV rays. We will provide you with a personalized aftercare regimen to manage any temporary dryness or peeling and ensure the best possible results. Once the peeling process is complete, you will notice a significant improvement in your skin's clarity, tone, and overall radiance.

Chemical Peels FAQs
How much downtime is required after a peel?
Downtime varies based on the intensity of the treatment. Light peels generally require one to seven days of healing with minimal flaking. Medium peels involve more significant rejuvenation, with the skin typically healing within seven to ten days as the old layers peel away to reveal fresh, healthy skin.
Can chemical peels treat acne scars and sun damage?
Yes, medical-grade chemical peels are highly effective at addressing skin defects such as acne scarring, sunspots, and uneven pigmentation. By removing dead and hyperpigmented cells, the peel stimulates the creation of healthy new skin cells, resulting in improved texture and clarity.
How often should I get a chemical peel to maintain results?
For most patients, we recommend repeating light chemical peels every four to six weeks. This schedule allows your skin to fully recover while maintaining a youthful, refreshed glow and preventing the buildup of tired, dull cells.
How should I prepare my skin before my chemical peel?
To achieve the best results, avoid using retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or exfoliating scrubs for at least three to five days before your treatment. We also recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and tanning beds leading up to your visit.
Can I get a chemical peel if I have active acne?
Certain chemical peels are excellent for treating active acne, as they help unclog pores and reduce oil production. During your consultation, we will determine if a peel or a different clinical treatment is the safest path for your current breakout.
Is there anyone who should not get a chemical peel?
Peels are generally not recommended for individuals with active cold sores, open wounds, or those who have used Accutane within the last six months. We also advise pregnant or nursing mothers to consult with our team about pregnancy-safe skincare alternatives.
