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

Brittany Iafrati • February 11, 2025

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.

Achieving a youthful glow doesn’t always require surgery. At Belviso Medical Spa in Rhode Island, we offer a variety of non-surgical treatments that rejuvenate your skin and restore your natural radiance. Whether you’re looking to reduce fine lines, add volume, or improve your skin texture, we have a solution for you. 1. Botox: Smooth Fine Lines and Wrinkles Botox remains one of the most popular treatments for non-surgical skin rejuvenation. This injectable treatment temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for fine lines and wrinkles, providing a smoother, more youthful appearance. • Quick procedure with minimal downtime. • Results typically last 3-4 months. • Ideal for crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. 2. Dermal Fillers: Restore Volume and Contour As we age, our skin loses volume, leading to sagging and hollow areas. Dermal fillers can restore that lost volume, giving your face a plumper, more youthful look. This treatment is perfect for cheeks, lips, and under-eye areas. • Immediate results with minimal discomfort. • Enhances facial contours and adds fullness. • Safe and effective for a natural look. 3. Laser Skin Resurfacing: Even Skin Tone and Texture Laser skin resurfacing is a cutting-edge treatment that targets imperfections like fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. By using advanced technology, this procedure helps to stimulate collagen production for smoother, firmer skin. • Non-invasive with minimal recovery time. • Improves skin texture and reduces hyperpigmentation. • Perfect for both face and body. 4. Microneedling: Boost Collagen Production Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These small punctures stimulate your body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production for firmer, younger-looking skin. • Ideal for treating scars, stretch marks, and wrinkles. • Promotes smoother skin with long-term results. • Safe for most skin types and tones. 5. Chemical Peels: Refresh and Revitalize Your Skin Chemical peels exfoliate your skin, removing dead cells and promoting the growth of new skin. This treatment helps to reduce sun damage, acne scars, and fine lines. Depending on your skin needs, we offer light, medium, and deep peels. • Quick procedure with immediate results. • Enhances skin tone, texture, and radiance. • Safe for most skin types.
