Chemical Peels Toronto

If you suffer from complexion issues such as fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne and rough textures, chemical peels may be suitable for you. 

The results of a series of chemical peels are long lasting. However aging, lifestyle habits and environmental factors can negatively impact your results. Therefore, it's important to follow good skincare practices, such as protecting your skin from the sun and using topical products that are appropriate for your skin.

Most patients describe feeling a slight tingling or burning sensation during their chemical peel. This sensation is not typically described as painful.

Darkening of the skin is considered a rare risk of chemical peels. Peels that are not formulated correctly or applied by inexperienced practitioners may increase this risk.

It is possible to wear makeup after a superficial peel.

While it is common for patients to see their skin peeling after a chemical peel, it is not always the case. Some patients do not see their skin peeling, but that doesn't mean their treatment was not effective. They can still see results. Patients who regularly receive chemical peels may also experience less peeling of the skin.

There will typically be several days of redness and peeling following a chemical peel, increasing with the depth of the peel.

It depends on your treatment goals, but for optimal results, a series of four to six chemical peels (spaced 2 weeks apart) is recommended.
