How to Prepare for a Chemical Peel | Tips for Best Results

Chemical peels are a fantastic way to rejuvenate your skin, leaving it smoother, clearer, and more radiant. To ensure you get the best possible results from your treatment, it's essential to prepare properly. Follow these tips to maximize the benefits of your chemical peel.

1. Consult with a Professional

Before undergoing a chemical peel, it's important to have a consultation with a skincare professional. At Belviso Medical Spa, our experts will assess your skin’s condition and recommend the best type of peel for your needs.

  • Custom treatments based on your skin type.

  • Expert advice on post-peel care.

2. Avoid Sun Exposure

Excessive sun exposure can make your skin more sensitive and prone to irritation. We recommend avoiding sun exposure for at least one week before your chemical peel. If you must be outside, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin.

  • Protect your skin with SPF 30 or higher.

  • Avoid tanning beds and direct sunlight.

3. Discontinue Certain Skin Products

To prepare for your chemical peel, you may need to stop using certain skincare products that could irritate your skin. Avoid products with retinoids, exfoliating agents, or acid-based treatments for at least a week before your peel.

  • Use gentle skincare products before your treatment.

  • Ask your provider for product recommendations.

4. Stay Hydrated

Hydrated skin is essential for a smooth peel. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment to keep your skin well-moisturized. Hydrated skin will peel more evenly and recover faster.

  • Aim for 8 glasses of water a day.

  • Moisturize your skin regularly.

5. Plan for Downtime

Depending on the type of chemical peel you receive, you may experience some redness, peeling, or flaking after the procedure. Plan to take a few days off from social events to allow your skin to heal properly.

  • Light peels have minimal downtime.

  • Deeper peels may require several days of recovery.
