4 Side effects of Chemical Peel Treatment
There are very common side effects after the chemical peel treatment. But these side effects can be managed or treated easily with precautions. Just consult with your doctor if you face any of the side effects.
Dry Skin
Due to the chemical peel, your skin may become dry. But with the help of regular moisturizing, you can get rid of dry skin. Drink plenty of water and try to keep your body hydrated.
Flaking
Chemical peel is about peeling off your dead skin. So if you see flakes on your skin or face, don’t get scared. It is a normal process and your new layer of skin will be visible within few days of flaking.
Redness
You may see red patches on the skin after the chemical peel procedure. As your outer layer of skin has undergone the chemical procedure, you might suffer from redness but it will not last long.
Pigmentation
If you are going for chemical peel treatment by a specialized dermatologist, you may not have to face this. This is very rare side effect of chemical peel.
Before, During & After Chemical Peels
Before
When a person approaches a doctor with the intention of getting a chemical peel, there will be a fair few steps involved.
These would include:
- Why you want to get a Chemical Peel and whether you have realistic expectations from the Procedure
- Whether you have any medical conditions, allergies or prior surgeries
- Your alcohol consumption and smoking habits
- Whether you are on any medications, vitamins or herbal supplements
Your doctor might also ask you to undergo a few medical tests and checks, to ensure that you are fit to undergo a chemical peel. You will also be made to understand the possible risks and side effects, so that you are able to make a fully informed decision.
This would also be a good time to have all your doubts and queries clarified and you should not feel embarrassed or ashamed to ask anything.
During
What you can Experience during the Chemical Peel Procedure?
Before a chemical peel is actually started, your face will be cleaned thoroughly. If you are opting for a deep chemical peel, then you will be given an anaesthetic or mild sedation, because there could be some pain involved. The pre-prepared chemical solution will then be brushed onto your skin and allowed to do its work. Timing is crucial, which is why you should get the treatment only from a reputed clinic or salon. There could be some tingling, burning or itching sensation and all these are considered normal.
Depending on the type of chemical peel you have opted for, your doctor will either, simply wash off the peel, use a saline compress or slather your skin with ointment. If you have undergone a deep chemical peel, chances are that your skin will be dressed and the ointment will have to be left untouched for a day.
After
What are the benefits that you can expect after the chemical peel treatment?
Once the procedure has been completed, you are bound to feel a little itching, irritation or redness, but all of these are normal and will disappear in a few days. You will be given medication to apply on your skin, which will help reduce the redness or irritation and also help with the possible pain. There is a chance of infection or hyper-pigmentation and if you notice either, it would be best that you meet a doctor immediately. You will be asked to avoid makeup for a few days, because your skin will require time to heal. You will also be asked to apply a gentle moisturizer as well as sunscreen.
