Your treatment begins with a professional cleansing to remove oil, makeup, and debris. Once the skin is prepared, the chemical solution—typically formulated with exfoliating ingredients such as glycolic, salicylic, or trichloroacetic acid—is applied to the surface. You may feel a mild warmth or tingling as the peel works to lift away damaged cells and stimulate renewal.
Chemical peels usually take about 30 minutes. Afterward, a soothing moisturizer and sun protection are applied. Depending on the peel’s depth, your skin may experience mild redness, flaking, or tightness for a few days as it renews.
