What does a chemical peel feel like after treatment?

Many people compare the after effects of a chemical peel to a deep sunburn. You’ll likely experience initial redness of the skin, followed by peeling and flaking after a few days.

How often should I do a chemical peel?

It really depends on how deep the chemical peel is. For those doing lighter chemical peels, you can do do one up to a couple times per month. For deeper peels, it’s advisable to wait longer due to the fact that your skin will be more sensitive.

What are the benefits of a deeper chemical peel?

Deeper chemical peels result in more dramatic results. For those with deeper skin imperfections or pre-cancerous growths, a deeper chemical peel may be more beneficial.

How it Works

The Consultation

At RL Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa, each initial patient consultation is different.

Depending on your needs, desired treatments, areas of concern, and simply who you are as a patient, we will schedule you with an actual treatment provider to discuss your goals, budget, and more. During this appointment, we will go through before & after photos, your medical history, and any questions you might have. Only then can we make a recommendation for which procedures or treatments may be right for you and why. We will be sure to educate you on how the treatments work, including what to expect during and afterward.

A typical consultation lasts about 40 minutes and is free of charge for all aesthetic treatments, including chemical peels. At the end of your consultation, you will leave our office in Vernon Hills with a thorough, personalized treatment plan. And when you’re ready, we’ll schedule your first treatment session.

Your Chemical Peel Treatment

As with any treatment at RL Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa, we will ensure your total comfort in a clean, comfortable, and private treatment room.

After a thorough cleaning of the skin, your aesthetician will apply one or multiple chemical solutions to your skin. During this time you may feel a burning or stinging sensation, but this is only temporary.

During your treatment, the solutions will be removing cells from your skin at either a superficial, moderately deep, or deep level. Deeper peels create more dramatic results but will have longer recovery times. During this time, you’re welcome to relax or listen to music.

The Recovery

Recovery is dependent on how deep of a chemical peel was received.

The deeper the peel, the longer the recovery time. Regardless, you will likely experience redness and swelling at the area of treatment. Recovery time for a lighter peel will be about three to seven days, and you are free to put on makeup the next day after treatment.
