Chemical peels can be done on the face, neck, or hands and can be used to:

  • Reduce fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth
  • Treat wrinkles caused by sun damage and aging
  • Improve the appearance of mild scars
  • Treat certain types of acne
  • Reduce age spots, freckles, and dark patches (melasma) due to pregnancy or taking birth control pills
  • Improve the look and feel of skin

Areas of sun damage may improve after chemical peeling. After a chemical peel, skin is temporarily more sensitive to the sun, so one should wear sunscreen every day. It should say “broad-spectrum” on the label, which means it protects against the sun’s UVA and UVB rays. Also, it should be a physical sunscreen and be above the SPF 30. Limit your time in the sun, especially within the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and wear a wide-brimmed hat.

Before you get a chemical peel: Your doctor may ask you to stop taking certain drugs and prepare your skin by using other medications, such as Retin-A, Renova, and glycolic acid. The doctor may also prescribe antibiotics or antiviral drugs.

Work with your doctor to determine the depth of your chemical peels. This decision depends upon the condition of your skin and your goals for treatments. Ask your doctor before or in advance whether you will need to have someone drive you home after your peel.

Procedure: You can get a chemical peel in a doctor’s office or in a surgery center. It’s an outpatient procedure, meaning there is no overnight stay. The professional who does your chemical peel will first clean your skin thoroughly. Then he or she will apply one or more chemical solutions — such as glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, or carbolic acid (phenol) — to the small areas of your skin. That creates a controlled wound, letting the new skin take its place.

During a chemical peel, most people feel a burning sensation that goes on for about five to ten minutes, followed by a stinging sensation. By putting cool compresses on the skin may ease that stinging. You may need pain medication during or after a deeper peel.

After Chemical peel done: Depending upon the type of chemical peel, a reaction similar to sunburn occurs following the procedure. Peeling usually involves redness followed by the scaling that ends within three to seven days. Mild peels may be repeated at one to four-week intervals until you get the look you are after.

Medium-depth and deep peeling may result in the swelling as well as blisters that may break, crust, turn brown, and peel off over a period of seven to 14 days. Medium-depth chemical peels may be repeated in six to 12 months, if necessary. After treatment, you may need bandages for several days on the part or all of the skin that was treated.
