17 June 2025Chemical Peel Process Day by Day
This treatment is highly popular because it gently peels off old skin and improves its look and condition. Whatever your goal, knowing the day-to-day steps can help you achieve your best possible outcome. Here, you’ll learn the stages of undergoing chemical peel treatments, beginning on the day of treatment all the way to full recovery.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
During a chemical peel, a dermatologist applies a solution of glycolic acid, Skin Rejuvenation, TCA or phenol to help peel away the skin. As the process removes the top layers, your skin will start to grow fresh, smooth and bright.
Depending on how strong the peel is, it can exfoliate you gently with few side effects or greatly, with more time needed for healing.
Chemical Peel Process: Day by Day Breakdown
Day 1: Treatment Day
- Procedure: After cleansing your skin, the chemical peel solution is applied by someone licensed in skincare. You could feel a slightly touching or pleasantly warm feeling while the acids make it easier for your skin to slough off.
- After the treatment, you may experience some redness, tightness and mild swelling.
- Tips: Keep your hands away from your face and carefully follow the directions the skincare provider has given you. Maintain moisture in your skin and make sure it is shielded from UV light.
Day 2-3: Early Peeling and Sensitivity
- Observations: After infection, the redness becomes more pronounced and you could notice the skin peeling or shedding.
- A stringent, dry, sensitive-to-the-touch feeling might arise in your skin. Itching may happen mildly, yet don’t give in to the urge to scratch your skin.
- Follow up by cleansing the skin softly and using moisturizers known to be rich. Do not use any cosmetics and keep following strict protection from the sun. Leave the skin intact so that it doesn’t scar.
Day 4-7: Peak Peeling and Flaking
- Features: As hair starts to fall, it often comes off in sheets or smaller flakes. There are times when skin remains blotchy or red in some areas.
- Under the scabs, healthy skin is being produced.
- Tips: Continue to moisturize your skin and protect it from the sun. Try to keep away from heavy products on your skin and avoid using Hydrafacial until your skin is fully healed.
Day 8-14: Skin Renewal and Recovery
- When peeling is done, the skin looks smoother, softer and more glowing.
- Always use gentle skin products, since your skin may still not be completely tolerant and diligently apply sunscreen.
- You can wear makeup again by using products that won’t block your pores.
Week 3 and Beyond: Long-Term Benefits
- The skin keep getting better as collagen is produced, leading to less visible fine lines, wrinkles and scars.
- You should expect your skin to become smoother, paler and have less pigmentation.
- Aftercare: Adhere to the maintenance plan your doctor provides for the best results.
Important Tips for Chemical Peel Success
- Each day, place broad-spectrum sunscreen on your skin, whether you are out in the sun or indoors, to shield your new skin.
- Moisturizing: Apply gentle and soothing moisturizers to your skin to maintain balance.
- Delay using retinoids, exfoliating products or other harsh ingredients on your skin until there is no more peeling.
- No Picking: Don’t peel off dead skin, as this could lead to harming the skin.
- Listen to the Instructions You Are Given: Adopt the techniques your skincare practitioner advises and make any noted appointments.
