For all your blemishes, scars and acne, there is a treatment, and that is, the “Chemical Peel" treatment. The treatment is a process used to remove skin irregularities with a formulated chemical solution. Every treatment has a procedure so in order to give a better idea about the whole process take a look at our chemical peel procedure steps.

Chemical Peel Procedure Steps – Summer Skin Care

1. The chemical peel treatment is performed in a skin clinic and the procedure may range from 15 minutes to a few sittings.

2. For deeper peels, patients will be given a local anesthesia and the results may last up to several months. Patients would need to take up to three weeks of recovery.

3. During the process, a chemical solution is applied to the affected area of the skin and the solution works in drying up the surface and in gradually separating the outer skin which can be peeled off. The chemical agents in the solution also would stimulate the new skin cells.

4. During the treatment, the patient may experience some burning sensation and is advised not to expose their skin to sunlight (ultra violet radiations) while undergoing the procedure.

5. Patients may also be advised not to apply makeup during the procedure and even suggested to apply a sunscreen lotion with a minimum of SPF 15.

After the chemical peel procedure steps the patient should follow the instructions strictly as advised by the doctor and may report immediately if any problem.
