What Is the Recovery Process?

Recovery from a chemical peel treatment is fairly rapid. Some medical-grade peels can cause mild discomfort that can easily be relieved by using soothing cold compresses or the cool air from a fan. Any persisting irritation, redness, swelling, tightness, or peeling of the skin surface will clear within 3-10 days, depending on the strength of the peel utilized. 

Dr. Cox will prescribe a soothing ointment to aid in the healing process, and she will discuss with you any additional options to integrate into your day-to-day skincare routine to support your healing. It is advised to minimize sun exposure after a chemical peel and to always use sunscreen with a high SPF. The fresh skin takes approximately 5-7 days to develop and 7-14 days to be completely healed.
