TREATABLE CONCERNS
Med-aesthetic Consultation
Consultation: Schedule a consultation with our qualified and experienced practitioners to discuss your skin concerns, assess your skin type, and determine the most appropriate chemical peel for your needs.
Sun Protection: Limit sun exposure for at least a week before the procedure. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of complications. Use sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin.
Discontinue Certain Products: Discontinue the use of certain skincare products containing retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) for a specified period before the chemical peel, as these can increase skin sensitivity.
Hydrate: Maintain skin hydration by using a good moisturizer regularly in the days leading up to the peel. Hydrated skin tends to recover more effectively.
Avoid Hair Removal:
- Refrain from waxing or using depilatory creams on the treatment area for a week before the peel. Hair removal methods can increase skin sensitivity.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure for several days or as recommended by your practitioner. Sunscreen with a high SPF is crucial during the healing process.
Moisturize: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to soothe the skin and promote healing. Avoid products containing irritants such as retinoids or strong acids.
Avoid Makeup: Refrain from wearing makeup for a day or as recommended by your practitioner. When you resume makeup application, choose products that are gentle and suitable for post-peel skin.
Do Not Peel or Pick: Avoid picking at or peeling any flaking skin. Let the skin naturally shed, as premature peeling can lead to scarring or hyperpigmentation.
Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse the treated area gently using a mild, non-alcoholic cleanser. Harsh cleansers can irritate the skin.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, promoting the healing process and maintaining skin health.

There are different types of chemical peels classified by their depth:
- Superficial peels: target the outermost layer of skin.
