Chemical Peel FAQ

During a chemical peel, you may feel a tingling or "spicy" sensation as the solution is applied to your skin. Depending on the depth of the peel, sensation can be mildly uncomfortable and subsides quickly. After the treatment, some clients experience light redness or peeling, which is a normal part of the skin’s renewal process and usually resolves within a few days.

For best results, chemical peels are often performed as a series of treatments. Most clients benefit from 3-6 peels spaced 4-6 weeks apart, depending on their skin goals and the type of peel used. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain and enhance the results over time.

While chemical peels are suitable for many skin types, they may not be appropriate for everyone. Contraindications include:

• Active skin infections or open wounds
• Severe eczema or rosacea
• Recent use of retinoids or certain medications
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• A history of keloid scarring

A comprehensive consultation will help determine if a chemical peel is the right treatment for your skin and ensure the safest and most effective approach.
