Although skin peels are very safe if done by skilled and experienced dermatologists. But they can have some short-term disadvantages.
• Skin can get red and feel a burning sensation after using acids to remove dead cells. This is called skin irritation.
• After a peel, your skin becomes more sensitive. You have to be very careful with sunlight and products.
• If the peel is too strong or stays on too long, it can burn your skin and leave scars.
• Sometimes, peels can make skin darker or lighter for a while. This happens if not done right.
• Often, you need many peel sessions before seeing good results. This takes time and money.
• Depending on the peel, your skin may peel or flake after. This downtime can be inconvenient.
