What this picture does — and does not — explain

Only a superficial peel is pictured. Medium and deep peels act differently and have more demanding recovery; no concentration or application time is implied.

How to understand it

A chemical peel uses a solution to treat skin at a selected depth. Superficial, medium and deep peels have different preparation and recovery needs. A clinic’s “peeling” menu may also include non-medical skin-care services.

What to discuss

Ask what type of peel is proposed and why. A light peel and a deep peel should never share a single downtime promise.

How it is delivered

Topical chemical solution; depth varies.

Risks & questions

Persistent redness, pigment changes, infection and scarring are possible. Discuss your skin tone, history and the specific preparation.

Planning recovery

Healing can range from days to weeks depending on depth. Obtain an individual aftercare and follow-up plan.
