Depending upon the peel, peel depth and the skin type - you may be anesthetized. If so please read the anesthesia section. If not, you will have your skin cleansed and prepared either by exfoliation, sterilized or whatever is needed. The layers of acid will be applied and the timer set for your treatment protocol. You may experience a warm or tingling sensation and depending upon the strength of the peel, a stinging sensation. Your physician may place a fan on low speed to help with any type of discomfort.

The acid will be removed with a neutralizing lotion abs you will then have a moisturizer applied to your face. You may or may not have a second skin type of dressing placed on your face then gauze, unless of course this is a superficial peel.

Please consult with your physician for specific details of your procedure as many treatments are carried out differently and are entirely individual-dependent.
