What should you know about Clinicare chemical peels?

A clinician applies a measured chemical solution to the skin. The solution loosens bonds between surface cells, prompting shedding and revealing newer skin beneath. The depth and ingredient determine the expected redness, peeling, recovery, and risks. Glycolic acid is one possible ingredient; the exact formula should be confirmed before treatment.

Peels may be considered for acne, comedonal acne, sun spots, photoaging, and some uneven pigmentation. Melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation need particular care because irritation can deepen colour in some skin tones. Keratosis pilaris may also be discussed, but a peel is not suitable for every bump or rash.

Tell the clinician about active eczema, cold sores, infection, recent sun exposure, retinoids, hair removal, and medicines that affect healing. Follow instructions about pausing irritating products. Afterward, cleanse gently, moisturise as advised, avoid picking peeling skin, and protect the area from ultraviolet exposure. Do not schedule another exfoliating procedure until the skin has recovered.

Contact the clinic for worsening pain, marked swelling, spreading redness, pus, or blistering. Seek urgent help for facial swelling, breathing difficulty, or a severe allergic reaction. New darkening, lightening, or persistent sensitivity deserves review; do not apply stronger acids to correct it yourself.

Ask which ingredient and depth are planned, what result is realistic for your concern, how your skin tone affects risk, and which products to stop before and after the peel. Confirm who to contact if healing is delayed.
