What should I expect after getting a chemical peel
After the chemical peel is applied, it is left on the skin for 6 hours (or left on overnight) and you will have an orange tint. There is no required downtime, but NO exercise or excessive sweating for 72 hours after peel is applied.
As a general rule, treat it like a sunburn: avoid sun exposure, avoid sweating and avoid heat.
The skin will feel tight before peeling begins, and peeling is usually the heaviest on days 3 to 5. No makeup is worn while peeling, but tinted medical grade sunscreen such as Alastin or Neocutis can be used. Flaking may occur for up to 10 days.
Purging is a normal side effect of the peel. For some, it is minimal and for others it can be significant. This should resolve in 10-14 days post peeling. The peel will dry out surface breakouts, but deep acne will still come to the surface.
