If deemed appropriate, our healthcare professional may prescribe the specific chemical peel solution and any accompanying skincare products needed for the treatment. This prescription may be filled at a pharmacy or provided directly by our clinic. 

A chemical peel is administered by one of our healthcare professionals.  After cleansing the skin, the peel solution is carefully applied using an applicator and left on for a specific duration. Depending on the type of peel, neutralization may be required before post-treatment care, which often includes soothing creams and sunscreen application. 

The frequency of chemical peel treatments varies based on the peel’s depth and the individual’s skin needs. Superficial peels may be done every 2 to 4 weeks, while medium-depth peels typically occur every 4 to 6 weeks. Deep peels, being the most intensive, are spaced several months apart for optimal results and proper skin healing.

Our healthcare professional monitors the process by observing the patient’s skin reaction, ensuring the peel solution is applied evenly, and timing the duration of the peel. Post-treatment, they assess the skin’s response, monitor for any adverse reactions or complications, and provide guidance on proper skincare and follow-up appointments. Additionally, patients are encouraged to communicate any concerns or changes they notice in their skin between appointments.

Lifestyle factors that impact chemical peel outcomes include sun exposure, skincare routines, smoking habits, diet, hydration levels, and stress management. Protecting the skin from sun damage with sunscreen and avoiding prolonged sun exposure is crucial for optimal results. Additionally, maintaining a healthy skincare routine, quitting smoking, consuming a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and managing stress levels can all contribute to better skin health and enhance the effectiveness of chemical peel treatments.
