Chemical Peels Care Guide
A properly prepped and cared-for peel gets the best, most even results, especially since your skin will visibly peel over the following days as it renews itself.
Why Aftercare Matters for Your Results
Because a chemical peel actively resurfaces the skin, how you treat it during the peeling process affects how even your final results look. Picking at peeling skin or skipping sun protection can lead to uneven healing.
Pre & Post Care Tips
