The chemical peel procedure typically begins by prepping the skin with a specific skin care treatment or with microdermabrasion. Your skin will be scrubbed and a mild toner will be used to remove oils before gently applying the acidic solution designed to peel away dead, dull skin layers. The solution is left on your face for a set amount of time, then your skin is wiped clean and an antibacterial cream is applied to assist you with healing and feeling more comfortable.
