It's crucial to keep your doctor informed of any health problems before beginning a chemical peel. Things such as scarring and cold sores can interfere with the chemical peel process. Your doctor may request a physical, to analyze your skin and provide a chemical peel that's best suited to your needs.
Before starting each session, you'll be asked to remove all makeup and creams from the areas that will be treated. Typically, this involves such products being avoided for a full 24 hours in advance of your appointment.
The deeper the peel, the longer your recovery time will be. For a light or medium peel, pain is minimal and won't last much longer than the treatment itself. Your doctor will help mitigate this with soothing lotions and cold compresses.
For a deep chemical peel, your doctor will provide a numbing agent for your skin to dramatically reduce the pain you'll feel. It's a good idea to bring a friend or loved one with you, so you can have a safe ride home.
In the days after a peel, it's normal for your skin to be irritated, cracked or red. This is the natural resurfacingprocess taking place. New youthful skin will eventually replace the old skin and you'll have a lovely, fresh look.
