Chemical Peel Aftercare

Comprehensive Guide to Chemical Peel Aftercare by Reimagine Clinic

Welcome to Reimagine Clinic, your trusted partner in skincare and aesthetic treatments in Montreal. A chemical peel is a transformative procedure designed to rejuvenate your skin and address various skin concerns. This guide provides detailed chemical peel aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.

Before Chemical Peel Treatment

Prioritize your skin’s health by following these pre-treatment guidelines:

• Avoid acne prescriptions like Accutane before the procedure.
• Refrain from other skin treatments, such as waxing or laser, for a minimum of two weeks prior.

After Chemical Peel Treatment

After experiencing the revitalizing effects of a chemical peel at Reimagine Clinic, adhere to the following aftercare instructions to maintain and enhance the results:

• Limit Sun Exposure: Your skin will be more sensitive post-treatment, making sunscreen a necessity. Opt for SPF 30 or higher, broad-spectrum and physical sunscreen. Avoid prolonged exposure and wear a wide-brimmed hat during peak sunshine hours.
• Stay Hydrated: Hydration is crucial. Consume plenty of water and use hydrating serums, aloe vera, and calming gels to keep your skin moist.
• Avoid Touching and Scratching: Your skin may peel, but resist the urge to scratch or touch the treated area.
• Wait Before the Next Treatment: Allow at least one week before undergoing another chemical peel or follow your esthetician’s recommendation.

Special Instructions

For a seamless recovery, follow these special instructions diligently:

1. Use clean bedsheets and pillowcases.
2. Clean your face towels regularly.
3. Avoid washing your face for 4 hours post-treatment and makeup for the next 24 hours.
4. Avoid intense exercise and sweating for 48 hours.
5. Apply SPF 50 every 2 hours when exposed to UV rays.

Routine for Day 1 to 10 Post-Treatment

To maximize the benefits of your chemical peel, follow this routine twice per day:

1. Cleanse your skin gently and pat dry.
2. Apply a hydrating serum and let it absorb completely (2 or 3 minutes).
3. Use a gentle moisturizer, such as LA FOLIE anti-redness daily cream.
4. Apply a minimum of SPF 30 sunscreen if exposed to UV rays.

Typical Day 10+ Routine

Continue with the following routine twice per day after the tenth day:

1. Cleanse your skin and pat dry.
2. Apply a hydrating serum and let it dry for 2-3 minutes.
3. Apply the recommended moisturizer.
4. Apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or more) every 2 hours if in contact with UV rays.

Enhance Your Results

After ten days, you can start exfoliating at home three times per week to maintain results. For the best outcome, you may need 3-8 treatments, depending on your skin type and concerns.
