The following aftercare advice is essential to help reduce the risk of treatment  complications, to improve your comfort/healing and to help achieve the best possible  results from treatment.  
Please follow the aftercare advice for chemical peel. 

• The treated area of skin may feel slightly tender and appear red afterwards. You may occasionally experience skin peeling and appearances may  be similar to mild sunburn. These effects will resolve naturally and should be  much improved after 48 hours but may take longer to settle. You may experience  some minor bruising which may take 1-2 weeks to resolve in some cases. 
• Avoid any perfumes, fake tan or other harsh chemicals for 72 hours after  treatment. 
• Avoid any makeup for 24 hours after treatment as this can increase the risk of  infection. 
• Avoid rubbing or picking the treated area. 
• Avoid any skin exfoliation for 72 hours following treatment. 
• It is important to use a regular moisturising cream around two to three times a  day on the treated area. Use more regularly if you feel the skin dry or peeling. 
• Avoid any products that contain alpha hydroxy acids, retinol, and glycolic acid for  at least 7 days after treatment. 
• Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, sunbeds and exposure to heat for 72 hours  after treatment. These can cause sweating which can irritate the delicate skin  and slow down your ability to heal quickly.  
• Avoid swimming for 72 hours after treatment. 
• Wear SPF 30 or greater sunscreen for at least 2 weeks following treatment as  your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight afterwards.
