Expert Advice to Help You Maximize Results After Your Chemical Peel

Medical Peel Recovery: Immediately After Your Chemical Peel 

Your skin will be sensitive and tender immediately after your chemical peel. This is a very normal occurrence. Rely on the advice of your trusted medical spa team about the skincare products that should be immediately applied to protect your skin. “We’ll provide a list of ideal ointments that will help your skin heal appropriately,” said Dr. Adibfar. “We carefully select these skin care products to keep the skin moist and protected.”

 

Medical Peel Recovery: Day One and Two After Your Chemical Peel

It’s important to continue to use the products recommended by your medical spa team. You’ll notice that your skin is dry and beginning to peel. This is a common part of the recovery phase. “We’ll help determine which moisturizers, sunscreen and skin care products you should be using to protect your skin,” explains Dr. Adibfar.

 

Medical Peel Recovery: Day Three After Your Chemical Peel

You’ll likely notice that your skin is very dry and you may even notice lines or dark spots. This is a natural process as your skin prepares to peel. The skin around your mouth is often the first area to flake. During this part of the recovery phase you will be instructed to use a moisturizer several times a day and gently massage your face in the evening to encourage the skin to peel.

 

Medical Peel Recovery: Day Four and Beyond After Your Chemical Peel

To continue the recovery phase, you’ll be instructed by your medical spa team to exfoliate your skin. It’s important to approach this part of your recovery as gently as possible to avoid undue irritation, abrasions and scarring.

 

“Depending on how your skin is healing, you’ll likely be able to resume your normal skin care routine at this point,” said Dr. Adibfar, a top-rated RealSelf doctor. “We’ll take the time to thoroughly discuss your typical skin care regimen to determine if there are any concerns with the treatments or products you use.”
