The famous myth associates chemical peels with thinning skin. In fact, it isn’t backed up by science. According to scientific evidence, chemical peels only thin the outer layer of dead skin which causes your skin to looks dull. Chemical peels increase the production of collagen & elastin, dermal volume, and thicken the epidermal layer.
The chemical peel itself is pretty quick about 15-20 minutes, however at Healthy Look Aesthetic Center Ubud, we always combine it with a soothing mask to accelerate the healing process. In total, each session takes approximately 45 minutes.
Most patients will experience a slight burning & stinging sensation for a few minutes. As we use world-class peels with modern technology, the experience is much more comfortable compared to traditional ones.
There’s no downtime, however, you may experience mild yet smooth scaling for 3-7 days depending on the strength of the peels and your skin conditions. Please use appropriate UV protection and soothing cream. Avoid picking the skin with your fingers while healing. Not all chemical peels cause the skin to peel, some acids treat the skin by peeling it at the microscopic level. Patients with thicker, oilier skin may not peel much at all, while patients with sensitive skin may peel a lot. Our doctor will adjust the recommended peels tailored to your needs.
Please refrain from sunbathing 7 days before and after each peel session. Please avoid direct sun exposure up to 72 hours after treatment. Stay out of swimming pools and don’t use chemical exfoliants and physical scrub for 3 days.
