Health Risks And Side Effects Of Chemical Peels

Skin Redness

Experiencing skin redness is a normal part of the healing process after getting a chemical peel. It should come as no surprise that, after having a layer of skin effectively peeled off, the skin will be sensitive and, at the very least, pink. This redness can last for a few hours, days, or in some cases, months, but this is typically only after a deep peel. The degree of redness and sensitivity will depend both on the type of chemical peel the client has opted for and the specifics of their skin. Using a cold compress to soothe the sore, red skin has been shown to be helpful both aesthetically and for a reduction in discomfort. The doctor or aesthetician will always recommend for treated skin to remain covered, especially after a deep peel, in order to protect the hypersensitive area from outside irritants that can worsen reddening.
