Post Treatment Care
Chemical Peel
Why it matters.
Chemical peels work by exfoliating and resurfacing the skin, intentionally compromising the skin barrier to stimulate renewal. Because the outer protective layer is weakened, dedicated aftercare is essential to protect the skin, reduce irritation, and maximise treatment outcomes.
Care Guidelines.
Keep skin hydrated with a gentle, non-active moisturiser.
Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily (reapply every 2–3 hours if outdoors).
Avoid exfoliating agents, active skincare (retinol, AHA/BHAs, vitamin C) until advised.
Do not pick or peel shedding skin.
Cleanse with a mild, non-foaming cleanser.
In-Clinic Support.
LED Light Therapy supports in reducing inflammation and speed recovery. We highly recommend LED directly after treatment, if not on the same day, within 1-2 days for optimal results.
Book your next chemical peel, these are recommended to have once a month.
Discuss ongoing skincare to support barrier repair and enhance results.
Concerns.
Mild redness and peeling are normal. Contact the clinic if you experience severe swelling, signs of infection, unexpected pain, or prolonged discomfort. A QR code/link will be provided for direct support from our medical team.
What to expect.
Following a chemical peel, it is normal to experience redness, tightness, mild swelling, and peeling of the skin over several days. The intensity will depend on the depth of the peel. Some dryness and sensitivity to sunlight are also expected. The healing process is part of your skin’s natural regeneration.
Day 1–3 (am/pm): Gentle cleanser + soothing moisturiser + SPF (am only).
Day 4–7 (am/pm): Continue gentle care; introduce hydrating serum if tolerated.
After 7 Days: Slowly reintroduce actives under clinician guidance.
Incorporating Skincare.
The results of chemical peels improve progressively as the skin regenerates. With correct aftercare and maintenance, benefits such as smoother texture, even tone, and radiance can last weeks to months.
