A medium-grade skin peel is a wonderful solution for patients looking to reveal bright, radiant skin. This procedure can make your skin a touch more sensitive for a few days after your session, so you’ll want to take extra care to protect your face and enhance your results. Find out how to guard your skin after a medium-grade skin peel at Maloney Plastic Surgery.
Leave It Alone
A medium-grade skin peel may leave your skin feeling temporarily red, shiny, or warm. In about 2 to 3 days after your procedure, your skin can begin to peel. This can continue for 4 to 5 days as your face sheds the top layers of dull, tired skin. While you may be tempted to pick at your peeling skin, it’s essential that you simply leave it alone. Picking will only aggravate your skin and lead to further irritation, delaying your beautiful results.
Relax Your Skincare Routine
If you regularly use any skincare products that contain retinol or glycolic acid, it’s best to leave them on the shelf for at least 3 days after your medium-grade skin peel. These ingredients may brighten your skin, but immediately after a skin peel, they’ll only cause irritation. Stick to the products that your Maloney Skin Care Expert advises. They can create a personalized aftercare routine for you to ensure that you get the maximum benefits from your medium-grade skin peel.
Skip the Gym
You should skip gyms, hot tubs, and saunas for at least two days after your medium-grade skin peel. The excessive heat and moisture can have negative effects on your freshly exfoliated face. You won’t want to subject your skin to any excessive heat, lest you risk inflammation.
