CHEMICAL PEEL FAQ

A Chemical Peel is a professional skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a specially formulated chemical solution to gently exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. This controlled exfoliation encourages the natural removal of damaged skin cells and stimulates healthy skin renewal.

As new skin cells replace older ones, the skin may appear smoother, brighter, more even in tone, and healthier in appearance.

Chemical Peels are customized according to your skin type, skin condition, and treatment goals to provide safe and personalized care.

A Chemical Peel works by applying a carefully selected solution to the skin under professional supervision.

The treatment encourages controlled exfoliation of the outer skin layers, allowing older or damaged skin cells to gradually shed and be replaced by healthier new skin.

Depending on the type and strength of the peel selected, the treatment may also stimulate collagen production and improve overall skin texture and clarity.

Chemical Peels may help improve the appearance of:

• Uneven skin tone
• Sun damage
• Hyperpigmentation
• Melasma (when appropriate)
• Acne
• Acne marks
• Mild acne scars
• Fine lines
• Rough skin texture
• Enlarged pores
• Dull or tired-looking skin
• Mild signs of skin aging

A consultation is required to determine whether a Chemical Peel is suitable for your individual skin concerns.

No.

There is no single Chemical Peel that is appropriate for every patient.

Your practitioner will recommend a customized treatment based on factors such as:

• Your skin type
• Skin sensitivity
• Skin colour
• Medical history
• Current skincare routine
• Treatment goals
• Previous cosmetic procedures

Selecting the appropriate peel is an important part of achieving safe and effective results.

Not necessarily.

The amount of visible peeling varies depending on the type of Chemical Peel selected and your individual skin response.

Some patients experience little or no visible peeling, while others may notice light to moderate flaking over several days.

Visible peeling is not the only indicator that the treatment is working. Skin renewal continues even when peeling is minimal.

Most patients tolerate Chemical Peels well.

During treatment, you may experience temporary sensations such as:

• Mild tingling
• Warmth
• Tightness
• Slight stinging

These sensations usually improve shortly after the treatment is completed.

Your practitioner will monitor your comfort throughout the procedure.

A typical Chemical Peel appointment takes approximately 30–60 minutes, depending on your individualized treatment plan.

Your visit may include:

• Skin consultation
• Skin assessment
• Cleansing
• Skin preparation
• Chemical Peel application
• Neutralization (when applicable)
• Application of post-treatment products
• Review of aftercare instructions

The number of treatments varies depending on your skin concerns and goals.

Many patients benefit from a series of treatments performed several weeks apart.

Your practitioner will recommend a personalized treatment plan after evaluating your skin condition and discussing your treatment objectives.

Many patients notice brighter, fresher-looking skin within the first several days after treatment.

Additional improvements in skin texture, clarity, and pigmentation may continue to develop over the following weeks as the skin naturally renews itself.

Some concerns, such as pigmentation or acne, often require multiple treatments for optimal improvement.

Yes.

Every Chemical Peel performed at I Care Beauty Clinic is customized according to your individual skin condition and treatment goals.

Your practitioner considers factors such as:

• Skin type
• Skin sensitivity
• Pigmentation concerns
• Acne activity
• Previous treatments
• Lifestyle
• Recovery preferences

This personalized approach helps ensure that the selected treatment is appropriate for your skin and supports safe, healthy skin rejuvenation.

To help achieve the safest and most effective treatment, we recommend:

• Arrive with clean skin free of makeup and sunscreen.
• Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning for at least one to two weeks before treatment.
• Avoid waxing, threading, or other hair removal methods on the treatment area for several days before your appointment.
• Avoid exfoliating products, retinoids, and other potentially irritating skincare products for the period recommended by your practitioner.
• Inform us about any medications, allergies, recent cosmetic procedures, or changes to your medical history.

Your practitioner will provide preparation instructions specific to your skin type and treatment plan.

Your appointment generally includes:

• Consultation and skin assessment
• Cleansing of the treatment area
• Skin preparation
• Application of the customized Chemical Peel solution
• Observation of your skin’s response throughout the treatment

Every treatment is customized according to your skin condition and aesthetic goals.

Immediately following your Chemical Peel, you may notice:

• Mild redness

• Mild dryness

These effects are usually temporary and vary depending on the type of peel performed and your individual skin response.

Following treatment, we generally recommend avoiding:

• Direct sun exposure
• Tanning
• Swimming pools
• Hot tubs
• Saunas
• Steam rooms
• Harsh skincare products
• Exfoliating products
• Retinoids
• Picking, rubbing, or peeling the skin

It is also important to keep the skin well moisturized and follow all aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.

Your practitioner will advise you based on your skin’s condition and the type of peel performed.

Many patients are advised to wait approximately 24 hours, or until the skin has calmed, before applying makeup.

Only clean brushes and non-irritating products should be used once makeup is resumed.

Light daily activities are generally acceptable.

However, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive sweating, hot yoga, saunas, and steam rooms for approximately 24–48 hours, or as advised by your practitioner, to reduce irritation while the skin is healing.

Yes.

Depending on your skin condition and treatment goals, Chemical Peels may be incorporated into a comprehensive treatment plan.

• Thulium Laser

• Active eczema or dermatitis in the treatment area
• Certain inflammatory skin conditions
• Recent isotretinoin (Accutane) use
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding, depending on the type of peel and practitioner assessment

Chemical Peels may help improve certain types of pigmentation and uneven skin tone.

However, pigmentation disorders such as melasma can be complex and often require a personalized treatment plan that may include multiple treatment modalities and ongoing skincare.

Your practitioner will determine whether a Chemical Peel is appropriate for your acne and whether additional treatments may also be beneficial.

Absolutely.

Chemical Peels are suitable for both women and men.

Many male patients choose Chemical Peels to improve acne, sun damage, rough skin texture, enlarged pores, pigmentation, and overall skin quality.

Every treatment is customized according to the patient’s skin condition and goals.

Some patients notice improvement after a single treatment.

However, many skin concerns—including pigmentation, acne, melasma, and uneven texture—often benefit from a series of treatments performed according to a personalized treatment plan.

Your practitioner will recommend the number of sessions most appropriate for your skin.

Many patients return to work immediately or the following day, depending on the type of Chemical Peel performed and their skin’s response.

Mild redness or flaking may occur during the healing process, particularly after deeper peels.

Your practitioner will discuss the expected recovery time before treatment.

Many Chemical Peels can be safely customized for a wide range of skin types when selected and performed by experienced professionals.

During your consultation, your practitioner will carefully assess your skin tone, sensitivity, medical history, and treatment goals to choose the most appropriate peel for you.

For selected patients, Chemical Peels may be incorporated into a personalized treatment plan that also includes Microneedling.

Depending on your skin condition and treatment goals, these treatments may be performed during the same appointment or scheduled separately to allow appropriate healing.

Your practitioner will determine the safest treatment sequence.

Yes.

Depending on your individualized treatment plan, Chemical Peels may be incorporated with HIFU, CO₂ Laser, Erbium Laser, Thulium Laser, IPL / DPL Photofacial, or other skin rejuvenation procedures.
