Chemical Peels Orlando

Procedures will vary depending on the type of chemical peel chosen. Skin is prepped using a medical degreaser to ensure the area is free of oils left on the skin. The chemical agent is then applied and left on the skin for 3-5 minutes. Most patients feel mild to moderate stinging, which is temporary and usually subsides after about five minutes.

You'll see a notable improvement in your skin after one treatment, but depending on your goals, we may recommend up to three peels for optimal results.

• One week before the peel, avoid waxing, electrolysis, depilatory creams, and laser hair removal.
• Three to four days before the peel, discontinue using any prescription topicals such as Retin-A, Differin, or Tazorac, as well as any products containing retinol, alpha hydroxyl acids, beta hydroxyl acids, or benzoyl peroxide.
• Patients who have had any medical cosmetic facial treatments or procedures such as Laser treatments, cosmetic fillers, or other surgical procedures should wait until skin sensitivity has completely resolved before receiving a peel.
• We recommend avoiding prescription topicals for 14 days post-peel.

Chemical peels should be avoided if any of the following conditions are present:

• Active cold sores, herpes simplex, or warts in the area to be treated
• Wounded, sunburned, or excessively sensitive skin
• Accutane use within the last year
• History of recent chemotherapy or radiation therapy
• Women who are pregnant or actively breastfeeding
• Patients with vitiligo
• Patients with a history of autoimmune disease (such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, etc., or any condition that might weaken their immune system
