These procedures should always be performed by a licensed esthetician or double board certified cosmetic surgeon. When properly used, side effects like these are seldom seen:

• Redness, sometimes called a chemical peel burn
• Changes to skin color beyond what is expected
• In very rare cases, scarring might occur or an infection might develop

This procedure is done on an outpatient basis. The process may vary slightly but in general:

• To prepare, your face will be cleaned, and your eyes and hair may be covered to protect them.
• Depending on the depth of the treatment, you may be given a topical to numb the area.
• Chemical peel recovery time is 3-14 days, during which you may be given a soothing ointment to apply several times per day.
• If skin is tight, red, or swollen use ice packs and/or a cooling fan, along with pain relievers such as ibuprofen or naproxen sodium.
• You might need to sleep in a semi-reclined position to reduce swelling.
• You should avoid direct sun and vigorous exercise during the recovery period.
