What should you consider when getting a facial peel?

Facial peeling is a medical procedure that provides multiple benefits to the skin, such as improved texture and support in the treatment of spots, acne, etc. Here are key recommendations I’ve learned over more than 11 years of performing this procedure.

Recommendations before the peel:

• Do not have tanned skin.
• Perform facial hair removal up to 7 days in advance.
• Arrive with a clean face, no makeup.
• Clarify all your questions with your specialist.
• Sign the informed consent form.

Post-peel recommendations:

First 48 hours:

• Avoid heat/steam/any type of irritants.
• Avoid using makeup.
• Do not visit polluted environments.
• Avoid activities that cause sweating (especially in the first 24 hours).

From day 0 to 7:

• No direct sun exposure, tanning beds, saunas, steam rooms, hot springs, etc.
• If peeling occurs, do not remove the flaking skin. Use a gentle facial cleanser (avoid acne cleansers
