1
Skin Preparation
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped for the peel. This may involve removing any makeup or excess oil.
2
Peel Application
A chemical solution, typically containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), or trichloroacetic acid (TCA), is applied to the skin. The strength of the solution and the length of time it’s left on determine the depth of the peel.
3
Peeling and Recovery
The skin may begin to peel or flake within a few days of the procedure. This is a normal part of the healing process. It’s important to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen during recovery.
4
Skin Renewal
As the skin heals, new, healthier skin cells are revealed. This can help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.
