[queenofsurjery]

You will feel as though your skin has a windburn or sunburn and will find that your skin is tight. Do not make excessive or widely exaggerated facial expressions. This can tearing of the skin and bleeding, hence scarring. Just let your skin heal naturally and do not peel or tug on ANY skin that may peel from the face. You can cause excessive damage resulting in severe scarring if you do this

You will start noticing pink, fresh skin emerging from under the peeling , damaged skin. Remember not to help the peel along by pulling or rubbing this old skin off. Within a few weeks the pinkness will fade for most, light peels. Depending upon the depth of the peel you may have lingering pinkness which may look like a mild sunburn or flushed appearance. Your physician will go over what to expect for the depth of the peel you undergo.
