After a peel to fade pigment spots, the skin may flake or peel. This depends on the intensity of the peeling. Should a more intense peel be performed, the skin may begin to peel on the 2nd or 3rd day after treatment. This may remain visible for up to about 7 days and will disappear after that. In some cases, the “downtime” may last longer than 7 days. This is due to the type and depth of the peel. Prior to treatment, it is good to prepare the skin. Flaking and peeling is thereby reduced or can even be prevented. After treatment, it is good to keep the skin moisturized. Using the right skincare products will help the recovery process.
