Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Skin Renewal Chemical Peel.

Recovery varies with peel depth: superficial peels cause mild redness and flaking for 2–5 days, while medium peels may peel and be sensitive for 7–14 days. Your clinician will explain healing expectations and provide aftercare guidance.

Most clients feel a warming or tingling sensation during application. Numbing agents are used for deeper peels and comfort is monitored throughout. Any discomfort is generally short-lived and managed with soothing post-care.

The number of sessions depends on skin concerns and peel strength. Superficial peels can be repeated every 4–6 weeks for gradual improvement, while medium peels are spaced several months apart for longer-lasting results.

Ideal candidates have sun damage, uneven texture, mild scarring, or hyperpigmentation and are in good health. A consultation screens for contraindications like certain medications, pregnancy, or active infections before proceeding.

Aftercare includes strict sun avoidance and daily broad-spectrum SPF, gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and avoiding active exfoliants until healed. Follow clinic instructions and use recommended healing serums to support recovery and results.

Common side effects include redness, peeling, and temporary sensitivity; less common risks are hyperpigmentation, infection, or scarring. Risks are minimized by professional assessment, appropriate peel selection, and adherence to aftercare.
