How does the procedure work?
Many different types of peels are available in different strengths that are tailored specifically to the patient’s skin type and concerns.
What will the patient experience during the procedure?
The patient’s skin will be thoroughly cleansed and a skin prep solution may be applied. The peel itself is then painted on in layers and left to develop, it is then either washed off in the clinic or left on to wear home. Application of sunscreen is important
What can the patient expect after the procedure?
It is common to feel a mild stinging sensation for a few minutes following application and the skin may turn red. The area may feel tight after treatment, but the patient can apply a suitable moisturiser as frequently as required. The patient may experience a light exfoliation or peel more intensely. Most side effects usually settle by day 5 -14 depending on the peel strength.
