What can patients expect following their chemical peel treatment?
Following chemical peel treatment depending on the intensity of the peel tailored to your goals most patients immediately resume their normal activities. Most patients report that their skin feels softer and smoother. Most post-peel redness is slight and can be covered with makeup. Some patients may experience slight flaking in the few days following the peel treatment, but it is not necessary to see flaking skin for the peel to be effective.
