Question 1

How does chemical peels work?

Accepted Answer

A solution is applied that loosens the bonds holding the outermost skin cells in place. Those cells shed in a controlled manner, revealing more even skin underneath and prompting the renewal process to work more efficiently than it had been.

Question 2

What results can chemical peels realistically deliver?

Accepted Answer

Pigmentation, dullness, congestion and surface texture improve most convincingly. Deep scarring and structural laxity fall outside what a peel achieves, and microneedling is the better answer there.

Question 3

Does chemical peels hurt?

Accepted Answer

There is warmth and tingling for as long as the peel is active. That is expected and it stops the moment the peel is neutralised.

Question 4

How often should the treatment be repeated?

Accepted Answer

Three sessions three to four weeks apart is a sensible course, followed by occasional maintenance peels as your skin requires them.

Question 5

Will I need time away from work?

Accepted Answer

Some pinkness, tightness and light flaking for a few days, in proportion to the strength used. It conceals easily and does not usually interrupt work.

Question 6

Does chemical peels work well alongside other treatments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, provided the sequence is respected. Peels and microneedling are spaced apart rather than performed in the same appointment.

Question 7

What should I do in the days after treatment?

Accepted Answer

Resist picking at flaking skin, keep acids and retinoids out of the routine until the skin settles, and apply SPF daily without exception.
