The five steps of a chemical peel treatment you should know

If you are on a quest for glowing, rejuvenated skin, you have probably heard about the wonders of chemical peels. This popular skincare treatment offers a fresh start for your face by improving texture, tone, and even tackling wrinkles and fine lines. But what actually happens during a chemical peel? What can you expect? While the process might sound a little intimidating at first, our team at Eman Aesthetics in Centerville, Ohio, is here to break it all down.

Let’s look at the five steps involved in getting this skin peeling treatment as a quality facial service available with our board-certified physician, Dr. Jehangir Ansari:

Step 1: Consultation and skin assessment

Before jumping into any treatment, it is best to have a professional consultation with a board-certified provider to assess your skin. Dr. Jehangir Ansari takes the time to discuss your skin goals, analyze your complexion, and recommend the best type of peel for your needs. Whether you are targeting hyperpigmentation or just aiming for a youthful glow, our team crafts a plan tailored just for you.

Step 2: Prepping your skin

Just like an artist preps their canvas before painting, your skin needs to be properly prepped before the magic of a chemical peel can take action. This includes cleansing your face thoroughly to remove oils, dirt, and makeup. Depending on your peel type, our team might also apply a protective cream or cover sensitive areas like your eyes or lips. This ensures that the solution only works where it is needed and keeps your skin protected.

Step 3: The application

Our provider carefully applies the chemical solution to your skin. This solution, which could include ingredients glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or other skin-friendly chemicals, works its magic by exfoliating your skin and encouraging new cell turnover. You might feel a slight tingling or warming sensation as the formula starts to do its job. The duration of this step varies but is typically quick and efficient.

Step 4: Neutralizing and aftercare

Once the chemical solution has had enough time to work its wonders, it is then time to neutralize and soothe the skin. We apply a neutralizing agent if needed, followed by soothing products such as cooling serums or moisturizers. This part calms your skin and starts the recovery process right, leaving you feeling refreshed even after the peel is complete.

Step 5: Recovery and results

After your treatment, you will likely notice slight redness or peeling as your skin sheds its old layers. This is a normal part of the process. Over the next few days, your fresh, radiant skin comes to life, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion. At Eman Aesthetics, we provide you with a customized aftercare routine to keep your skin happy and healthy while you glow with natural confidence from your chemical peel service.
