Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during a chemical peel treatment?

During your chemical peel, your dermal therapist will cleanse your skin thoroughly before applying the chosen solution. You may experience a warm or tingling sensation as the peel works. The treatment typically takes 30-45 minutes, and your clinician will monitor your skin’s response throughout the process.

What does a chemical peel feel like?

When you first apply the peel to the skin you will experience a strong tingling sensation that begins to subside over 1-5 minutes. There is no lasting tingling or discomfort once the peel is removed.

How should I prepare for a chemical peel

Preparation may include avoiding certain skincare products containing active ingredients like AHAs or BHAs for two weeks prior to treatment. Your dermal therapist may also recommend starting a pigment-inhibiting product four weeks before your appointment, depending on your treatment type.

How will my skin look after a chemical peel treatment?

Immediately after the peel your skin will generally look refined and polished. Around day 3, you will start to experience some flaking and peeling which can be gently exfoliated away with an enzymatic cleanser that digests dead skin cells. Stronger peels may begin to cause flaking sooner and are not recommended before an event. For best results, combine with medical grade skin care and our LED light therapy.

What acids are used in chemical peels?

We use naturally derived acids including Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Salicylic Acid, along with Retinoids. The specific acids used will depend on your skin type and treatment goals, determined during your consultation.

When will I see results from my chemical peel?

Your results timeline varies depending on the type of peel and your individual skin response. Some improvements in skin texture may be noticeable immediately, while significant changes in pigmentation or fine lines may take 4-6 weeks to become apparent as your skin completes its renewal cycle.

How long do chemical peel results last?

The longevity of results depends on various factors including the selected chemical peel, your skin type, lifestyle, sun care habits, and ongoing skincare routine. Results may last several months and can benefit from limiting environmental exposure. To maintain your skin’s renewed appearance, your dermal therapist may recommend ongoing treatments.

How many treatments will I need?

Treatment needs vary significantly between each person. Some people achieve their desired results with one session, while others may require 3-8 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Your dermal clinician will assess your skin and recommend an appropriate treatment plan during your consultation.

What can I expect after my chemical peel?

Following treatment, you may experience tightness, redness similar to sunburn, and visible peeling or shedding as your skin regenerates. This is a normal part of the healing process and typically resolves within 1-2 weeks, depending on the peel intensity.

Can I wear makeup after a chemical peel?

Your clinician will advise when it’s appropriate to resume makeup use, typically once any initial irritation has settled. Mineral makeup is often recommended during the healing period as it’s less likely to cause irritation.

What skincare should I use after treatment?

Post-treatment skincare is crucial for optimal results. Your clinician will recommend specific products to support healing, typically including gentle cleansers, moisturisers, and broad-spectrum 50+ sunscreen. Avoiding active ingredients may be necessary during the initial healing period.

When can I return to normal activities?

Most patients can return to work and daily activities immediately after treatment, though you may prefer to schedule your peel when you don’t have important social events planned for the following 1-2 weeks while visible peeling occurs.
