17 Sep Chemical Peels in Bromley: What to Expect Week by Week

Posted in Aftercare, Face by

If you’re considering a chemical peel, you’re likely wondering how your skin will look and feel in the days and weeks that follow. Chemical peels are one of the most effective treatments for rejuvenating tired, uneven, or congested skin, helping to reveal a brighter, smoother complexion beneath the surface. At Beutiva, our chemical peels in Bromley are tailored to your skin’s unique needs, ensuring safe and visible results.

Before your treatment, you’ll have a detailed consultation with your aesthetic therapist to assess your skin and determine the right type of peel — light, medium, or deep. You’ll be advised to avoid harsh exfoliants, active ingredients like retinol, and excessive sun exposure for at least a week beforehand to ensure your skin is in its best condition.

On the day of your treatment, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepped before the peeling solution is gently applied. You may experience a light tingling or mild stinging sensation as the active ingredients get to work, but this usually subsides quickly. Once neutralised, your skin might look a little flushed or feel tight, similar to a mild sunburn.

During the first week, you may notice dryness, flaking, and some peeling as your old skin cells shed. It’s essential not to pick at your skin during this phase, as doing so can cause irritation or uneven results. Instead, keep your skin hydrated with a gentle moisturiser and always apply SPF 30 or higher daily.

By week two, the peeling will reduce, and your skin will begin to reveal a smoother, more even texture. Any redness should fade, leaving a subtle glow. By week four, you can expect to see the full benefits of your treatment — refined pores, improved tone, and a luminous complexion. Regular maintenance peels every few months can help maintain your results.

Chemical peels are safe and effective when performed by trained professionals, but as with any skin treatment, there are risks of temporary redness, sensitivity, or hyperpigmentation. Always follow aftercare instructions carefully to protect your results.
