The Right Regimen
This is just as important as utilizing the proper peel. Everyone’s skin issues are different, and therefore, the frequency of need will vary as well. In general, those with mild to medium skin cases typically undergo a series of 3-6 peels spread across about 2-4 weeks. Those with more serious skin issues may need more frequent peels.
After Care
Following your peel you want to be very sensitive towards your skin. Pay close attention to how your skin reacts to the treatment. Whatever you do stay away from retinol. It will just make your freshly peeled skin irritated, says Dr. Jaliman. If you feel that your skin needs some added moisture, seek out products that contain hyaluronic acid and green tea. These ingredients contain both moisture and soothing properties that are perfect for post peel care.
