Chemical Peel Instructions for Surgery

  • For superficial chemical peels you may use your makeup immediately.
  • You may start to flake or peel 1 to 3 days after the procedure.
  • Take note of your response so that you may inform your facial plastic surgeon prior to the next treatment.
  • See Facial laser resurfacing for care after medium depth chemical peels.

It is very important to take antibiotics and pain medicine as recommended.
