The Chemical Face Peel Procedure Explained
The path to revitalising skin via laser treatment comprises a series of carefully put-together steps, each vital for attaining the sought-after outcomes.
Pre-treatment Consultation
Before your chemical face peels, you’ll have a detailed consultation at Ashbrooke Cosmetic Surgery. This step is crucial to assess your skin’s condition and discuss your desired outcomes. Our experts will guide you through the procedure, help manage your expectations, and tailor a treatment plan that suits your skin type and goals.
Treatment
On the day of your peel, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed before the chemical solution is carefully applied. The specific type of peel and its strength will be selected based on the initial consultation. You may feel a tingling or a slight stinging sensation during the application, which indicates the peel is working on your skin.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-treated skin may appear red, and the peeling process will commence over the following days. It’s essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon to support the healing process. This will include using gentle skincare products and avoiding direct sunlight.
Gradual Transformation / Realistic Expectations
Chemical peels don’t provide immediate results. Instead, they offer a gradual improvement in skin texture and tone over several weeks. It’s important to have realistic expectations and understand that multiple sessions may be needed to achieve the desired outcome, especially for deeper skin concerns.
