Full Feel The Peel After-Care Instructions
Follow these after-care instructions after your full chemical peel to support even healing and protect your results.
After Your Treatment
- Do not pick or scrub at the skin. This will lead to pigmentation irregularities and scarring.
- Do not use active topical products like retinols, AHA's/BHA's for 1 week, or until your skin is fully healed.
- Do not use any manual exfoliants, such as scrubs, wash cloths, or cleansing devices, for 1 week, or until your skin is fully healed.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, sweating, and heat for 2-3 days after your treatment.
- Avoid direct sun exposure, including tanning beds, for 4 weeks after your treatment.
- Always wear an SPF 30+ and reapply every 2 hours.
Not following the above may result in pigmentation irregularities and/or scarring.
Expected Healing Process
- Day of treatment: mild to moderate redness, heat sensation and some sensitivity. Slight swelling is a possibility.
- Day 1-2: mild to moderate redness. Skin may begin to feel tight and dry. You may begin to see temporary darkening and/or crusting of pigmentation.
- Day 3+: mild to moderate flaking and/or sheet peeling. This should subside by day 6.
Depending on the peel performed and the health of the skin, it can be normal to not see visible peeling.
