The term chemical peel can sound daunting, but we promise there is nothing to be afraid of. The process starts with your skin being cleansed to remove all surface oils and debris that could interfere with the results of treatment. Once cleaned, your skin will be allowed to dry, and then the solution can be applied.

As the solution is applied to the skin, you will experience a warming sensation. We will cool the area to ensure it does not become too uncomfortable. Sometimes, clients report sensations of stinging or itching. This is normal and will stop once the procedure is complete. It is simply part of the process of eliminating the skin cells that are problematic for you.

Unlike most other nonsurgical treatments, there is a recovery period after a chemical peel. How long this will be is determined by what type of peel you receive and how your skin reacts to it. Some clients do not require downtime, while others can need as much as 7 days.

It is important to note that those who do need a recovery period may not need it instantly. Some patients will not have any redness or peeling for several days after treatment and then need to take time off work while their skin heals to reach the final results.

Results from a chemical peel are not instantly visible in most cases. It is fairly unpredictable when the final results will emerge. Some clients see a noticeable improvement within days of the procedure, while others report it taking a few weeks.

How dramatic the results are will also vary. Skin that is already in pretty good condition may simply look refreshed while those addressing more noticeable concerns may see an equally noticeable improvement.

If there is an aspect of your skin that is bothersome to you, a chemical peel might be able to offer the change you need. Now is the time to take the next step. Contact us to schedule your Nashville chemical peel.
