Usually chemical peels are performed at beauty saloons or at doctor’s office. Lighter peels do not require any anesthesia, whereas deeper peels need anesthesia. The entire procedure takes about 15 minutes followed by one to three weeks of recovery.

The number treatment sessions depends on the patient’s condition. Results of chemical peels can last for several months.

When the chemical solution is applied on your skin, you may feel cool, hot or warm sensation that can last about 10 minutes. Some patients may feel stinging sensation.

In order to promote better healing and to reduce any risk of complications, you need to follow the suggestions of the treatment provider. Your treatment provider suggests you to avoid application of any makeup and avoid sun exposure for up to two to three weeks.
