Chemical Peels FAQ

How does a skin exfoliation treatment work?

During the skin brightening treatment, gentle chemical solutions are applied to your skin to improve its tone and texture by removing the damaged and dead outer layer. The intensity of this chemical will vary depending on your personal goals.

Is the chemical peel treatment painful?

During the chemical peel you may feel mild stinging, as well as slight discomfort after the procedure is completed. The pain level varies in relation to the intensity of the procedure but we will always do what we can to ensure you are as comfortable as possible during the treatment.

How can I prepare for a skin exfoliation treatment?

Chemical peels are ineffective if they are applied to sunburned skin, so it is recommended to protect yourself from sun exposure prior to treatment. Sometimes our specialist may recommend that Retin-A be applied to the skin area being treated every night for 2-4 weeks before treatment, depending on which chemical peel has been chosen.
