Chemical peels are one of the most effective treatments to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. At Hi Beautiful Aesthetics, we offer a variety of professional-grade peels that can target concerns such as fine lines, acne, hyperpigmentation, and melasma. While the peel itself is an important step, proper aftercare is what ensures your skin heals beautifully and achieves the best results.
What to Expect After a Chemical Peel
Right after your treatment, your skin may look red and feel tight, similar to a mild sunburn. Depending on the depth of the peel, you may experience flaking or peeling within a few days. This process is completely normal and is simply your skin shedding old, damaged layers to reveal healthier, brighter skin underneath. Healing time can range from a few days with lighter peels to 1–2 weeks with medium-depth peels.
Aftercare Tips for the Best Results
Avoid Picking or Peeling the SkinIt can be tempting to help the skin shed, but pulling at peeling skin may cause irritation or even scarring. Let your skin naturally exfoliate at its own pace.
Stay Hydrated and MoisturizedYour skin will likely feel drier than usual after a peel. Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to restore comfort and support the healing process.
Apply Sunscreen DailyFreshly peeled skin is more sensitive to the sun, making sunscreen a non-negotiable. Use a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 and reapply throughout the day.
Avoid Heat and SweatingActivities like saunas, hot showers, and intense exercise can increase irritation. Stick to cooler environments until your skin has healed.
Use Only Recommended Skincare ProductsMedical-grade skincare, especially those suggested by your provider, will help protect your results. Avoid harsh active ingredients such as retinols, glycolic acid, or strong exfoliants until your provider clears you to resume them.
Be Patient with the ProcessResults from chemical peels are not instant. As your skin heals and collagen production increases, you’ll notice a clearer, smoother, and more radiant complexion over time.
Why Aftercare Matters
Proper aftercare ensures your skin heals safely and maximizes the benefits of your peel. Clients who follow post-care instructions consistently see better, longer-lasting results. Think of aftercare as an extension of your treatment—it’s just as important as the peel itself.
At Hi Beautiful Aesthetics, we’re here to guide you through every step of your chemical peel journey. If you have any questions about aftercare or would like to schedule your next treatment, don’t hesitate to reach out.
