3 Truths, 3 Lies About Chemical Peels

“Summer Makes It Hard To Recover From a Chemical Peel” – FALSE

Truth: While it’s true you should avoid prolonged sun exposure after a chemical peel, the key word here is prolonged. Lifestyle sun exposure – like going for a walk, driving, or running errands – are perfectly safe, as long as you wear SPF.

“It’s Best To Wait Until After Summer So You Can Remove All Sun Damage In One Peel” – FALSE

Truth: The best defense against sun damage is proper prevention and regular maintenance. Keeping up with your regularly scheduled peels will keep your skin looking and feeling its best year round.

“Chemical Peels Make Sun Damage Worse” – FALSE

Truth: Chemical Peels itself do not cause hyperpigmentation. It’s often the inadequate pre- or post-procedure care that causes this. Many of the signs of sun damage, such as wrinkles, and dull skin are removed with the outermost layer of your skin during a peel. As a result, you are left with more healthy, vibrant, and smooth skin.
