3 Application of Chemical Peel: Follow the instructions provided by the chemical peeling machine manufacturer
or the skincare professional. Apply the chemical solution evenly to the treatment area using an Applicator or
the machine’s built-in mechanism.

4 Treatment Duration: The duration of the chemical peel application depends on the type and strength of the
solution. Follow the recommended time provided by the professional or device instructions.
5 Neutralization: Once the desired exposure time has elapsed, neutralize the chemical solution according to
the provided instructions. This usually involves applying a neutralizing solution to stop the chemical reaction
on the skin.

6 Post-Peel Care: Follow post-peel care instructions meticulously. This may involve applying a soothing post-
peel cream, avoiding sun exposure, and refraining from picking at any peeling skin.
7 Sun Protection: Sun protection is crucial after a chemical peel. Use a broad- spectrum sunscreen with at
least SPF 30 to protect the treated skin from UV radiation.
8 Recovery Period: Allow your skin to heal and follow any recommended downtime specified by the skincare
professional or device instructions.

Benefits: Improves skin texture, reduces acne scars, and helps control acne breakouts.
Exfoliation: Chemical peels help in exfoliating the outer layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells and unclogging
pores. This process can be beneficial for individuals with acne by preventing the buildup of excess oil and reducing
the risk of pore blockages.
Reduced Pore Size: Chemical peels can help reduce the size of enlarged pores, which is often associated with
acne-prone skin. By removing dead skin cells and promoting skin renewal, the appearance of pores may be
minimized.
Acne Lesion Improvement: Chemical peels may contribute to the improvement of acne lesions, including
whiteheads and blackheads. The exfoliation process helps in clearing out the follicles, reducing the occurrence
of comedones.
Oil Regulation: Certain chemical peels can regulate oil production in the skin. This is particularly beneficial for
individuals with oily or combination skin types, as excess oil can contribute to acne formation.
Inflammatory Acne Reduction: Chemical peels can have anti-inflammatory effects, which may help in reducing
redness and inflammation associated with inflammatory acne lesions.
Enhanced Penetration of Topical Medications: Chemical peels can enhance the penetration of topical
medications into the skin. This is important for acne treatments, as it allows for better absorption of medications
that target acne-causing bacteria or regulate oil production.
Collagen Stimulation: Some chemical peels stimulate collagen production, contributing to skin firmness and
elasticity. This can be beneficial for individuals with acne scars, helping to improve the overall texture and
appearance of the skin.
