What to expect during

chemical peel session

The skin is cleaned and prepared using various solutions and then the chemical peel solution is applied using a brush or gloves. Depending on the type of peel used and the area treated you may experience very little to some discomfort whilst the solution is applied.

Discomfort maybe described as:

– Itchy feeling where the peel solution is applied,

– Hotness in the area treated,

– Tightness,

– Tingling,

– Stinging,

– Redness.

The intensity of these feelings differs from patient to patient and between chemical peel solutions used. Generally speaking no pain relief is required for superficial or medium depth peels.
