Are Chemical Peeling Side Effects Really That Unhealthy?

By Jeff Kappel


Are there chemical peeling side effects that you should be made aware of? Well, of course. Just like anything chemical peels such as glycolic acid peels have their very own set of pros and cons. Chemical peels are becoming ever more popular now with the availability of at home peel kits and the benefit of being able to clean up some of the most common skin conditions that we experience in today's world.

One of the first warnings that you will hear from most anyone regarding the dangerous of chemical peels is that you should do you best to avoid any and all excess exposure to the sun for a few days after your chemical peel was applied. Even though it might seem like a bit of an inconvenience this is a major step in clearing up your skin tone.

One of the most common beginner mistakes when it comes to chemical peels is that a first time user will end up choosing too potent of a chemical peel. It's suggested that if you have sensitive skin or haven't applied a peel before that you stick to a smaller concentration between 10%-20%.

There is a slight chance, depending on exactly what skin condition you may be dealing with that you have to do more than one treatment. Don't worry, this is normal and most people who have to do multiple treatments do them monthly on average so the skin has plenty of time to heal.

Since there are so many varying degrees of skin conditions that anyone of us may encounter quite often you will see people applying repeat treatments to the area they want to clear up. Your skin cells regenerate about every 30 days so if an extra sequence of peels are needed they are usually done every 30-45 days to make sure that your skin has had adequate time to heal itself.

You should also know that you can expect to have a little more itching than normal on the area treated for a few days after the chemical peel treatment has been applied. This is why it's highly recommended to avoid the sun, but if you can't avoid it make sure to apply an SPF30 or higher sunscreen for protection. Depending on your budget, chemical peels might appear to be a little expensive but the bottom line is that it's well worth it to have clean, clear, and healthy skin tone.

These chemical peels are relatively simple to apply on your own with the at home kits, but if you run into any confusion you can always get in contact with a qualified skin care professional. More and more people are enjoying applying the chemical peel in the privacy of their own home since they are typically self conscious about their skin conditions the way it is.
