Chemical Peel Treatments Skin Rejuvenation and Anti-Aging
Chemical peels are a skin resurfacing treatment that removes dead skin cells and stimulates new cell growth. By applying a specialized solution to the skin, peels help reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. The treatment improves skin texture and tone, leaving your complexion smoother and more radiant. Ideal for clients seeking brighter, clearer skin, chemical peels offer customizable results, ranging from superficial to deep exfoliation, depending on individual needs. They promote healthy skin renewal for a youthful, refreshed appearance.
Chemical Peel Aftercare: How to Care for Your Skin Post-Treatment
A chemical peel is a powerful, skin-renewing treatment that helps improve texture, tone, fine lines, and discoloration. After your appointment at Evercare Wellness & Aesthetics, proper aftercare is essential for a safe recovery and glowing results.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to care for your skin after a chemical peel, including what to avoid and what to use.
✅ What To Do After a Chemical Peel
• Avoid direct sunlight
Your skin will be more sensitive than usual. Wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily and avoid prolonged sun exposure.
• Avoid makeup for 24 hours
Give your skin time to breathe and recover without the risk of clogged pores or irritation.
• Skip exfoliants and retinol for 7–10 days
Retinoids, glycolic acid, and other actives can disrupt the healing process and damage freshly treated skin.
• Avoid vigorous workouts, hot tubs, saunas, and steam for 72 hours
Excess heat and sweat can cause irritation or delay healing.
• Stick with gentle skincare only
Use a mild cleanser, fragrance-free moisturizer, sunscreen, and Aquaphor to protect and hydrate the skin barrier.
❌ What NOT To Do After a Chemical Peel
• Don’t pick or peel flaking skin
Let your skin exfoliate naturally. Picking can lead to scarring or hyperpigmentation.
• Don’t use harsh products or tools
Avoid scrubs, cleansing brushes, and anything abrasive until your skin has fully healed.
What to Expect After a Peel
Peeling typically begins 2–3 days post-treatment and may last up to a week, depending on the strength of the peel. You may experience redness, tightness, and dryness—this is all normal. By the end of the peeling process, your skin will look noticeably smoother, brighter, and more refreshed.
