Recovery times will vary based on the type and strength of the peel.
•. Immediately after the peel, your skin will feel tight and may be red. Any visible peeling will be light and fluffy and easily controlled with moisturizer.
•. Peeling usually lasts 3-5 days, depending on the actual peel treatment.
•. Use of gentle cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen is important, as it will enhance the healing process and results.
•. Normal activity may be resumed after the peel, however strenuous exercise and heavy sweating should be avoided for 2-3 days.
• Sun exposure should be avoided while skin is peeling; exposure of treated skin to a lot of heat should also be avoided as it may induce swelling, redness, and for deeper-peels...blisters under the skin.
• Allow peeling skin to slough off naturally; picking or peeling of flaking skin is NOT recommended, as it may lead to scarring.
• Use of prescription topical ointments and creams should be avoided for 3-5 days post peel.
