Benefits of a Chemical Peel in Burke

Chemical peels often come with negative connotations. In reality, this non-invasive method is virtually painless. The Perfect Derma Peel is considered a “medium” peel but can have the same effect as a “deep” peel after two or three consecutive sessions.

Your new look should last for six months to one year. At this time, we would recommend another peel to sustain your appearance.

What to Expect During Your Burke Chemical Peel

Chemical peel application only takes about 15 to 30 minutes. However, the peeling process will be in full swing about three days later and may take five to 12 days to complete. You may experience mild discomfort that is similar to a sunburn when the peeling begins. Some clients also report itching. We recommend Benadryl and Cortisone to help with these symptoms. Your skin will be more sensitive, so make sure to treat it gently. Also, make sure to avoid sun exposure during this time. You can come back in for an additional chemical peel four to five weeks after your initial appointment.
