Navigating the post-treatment phase of a PCA Chemical Peel is as important as the peel itself. Proper aftercare ensures not only the best results but also the health of your newly rejuvenated skin. At Dvida Spa, we prioritize not just the treatment but also helping you understand the aftercare process. Here are key do’s and don’ts to follow after your PCA Chemical Peel.
1. Do: Keep Your Skin Hydrated Post-peel, your skin may feel drier than usual. Hydration is crucial – both inside and out. Increase your water intake and use a gentle, non-irritating moisturizer to keep your skin soothed and hydrated.
2. Don’t: Expose Yourself to Direct Sunlight Your skin will be more susceptible to sunburn and sun damage post-peel. Avoid direct sunlight, and when you do step out, make sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
3. Do: Follow a Gentle Skincare Routine Post-treatment, your skin will be sensitive. Stick to a gentle skincare routine. Avoid any harsh products containing alcohols, acids, or abrasive textures until your skin has completely recovered.
4. Don’t: Pick or Peel Flaking Skin It’s normal for your skin to flake or peel after a chemical peel. However, picking at peeling skin can lead to scars or infections. Let the skin shed naturally.
5. Do: Avoid Strenuous Activities For the first few days post-peel, avoid activities that cause excessive sweating. Sweat can irritate your sensitized skin and can lead to inflammation or rashes.
6. Don’t: Use Makeup Immediately Give your skin a break from makeup for a few days post-peel. Makeup can clog the newly exposed skin and delay the healing process.
Remember, the success of your PCA Chemical Peel doesn’t just depend on the treatment itself but also on how well you care for your skin afterward.
