Do Chemical Peels cause pain?
The intensity of pain obviously varies from different things to different people. In general, the deeper the peel, the greater the chance you’ll feel some discomfort. But most patients at CMA Primary & MedSpa report only a mild burning or stinging sensation associated with the procedure. A fan blowing on the area being treated provides relief for many patients.
How long does the procedure take?
The typical Peel treatment at CMA Primary & MedSpa takes about 20-45 minutes, depending on the number of coats deemed necessary for optimum results.
How long does it last?
The corrective effects of a chemical Peel are significant but, unfortunately, cannot retain over time. Therefore, after your first peel, you may require another to achieve your desired level of rejuvenation. If you follow your prescribed skincare regimen, a maintenance treatment offered by CMA Primary & MedSpa every 6-12 months can keep your skin fresh and glowing.
When will I see results?
Immediately after your peel, you may experience mild swelling. According to experts at CMA Primary & MedSpa, it is quite normal. Within 2 or 3 days, your skin will begin to peel and will continue to do so for roughly 7 to 10 days. Once the peeling has stopped, the dramatic results of your treatment will immediately become apparent. The appearance of your skin will steadily improve over the next 4-6 weeks, gradually becoming firmer, smoother, and more youthful looking.
What are the potential complications?
Once again, the deeper the peel and the darker your skin, the higher your risk for complications.
The most common side effects include:
- Swelling
- Hyper-pigmentation
- Skin infections
- Keloid scars
- Acne flare-ups
Most of these problems can be avoided by strict patient compliance with the pre- and post-procedure skin care regimen that consultants at CMA Primary & MedSpa strictly follow.
