A chemical peel treatment is a great way to reduce acne, correct age spots and get rid of fine lines and wrinkles. A noninvasive cosmetic procedure, a chemical peel procedure takes up to 30 minutes.

But before you go for your chemical peel procedure, make sure you prepare!  This means you should avoid the following for at least one week before your treatment:

Removing hair by waxing, electolysis, depilatory creams and laser hair removal.

Suntanning, in any way.

Avoid doing the following 2-3 days before the procedure:

Exfoliating the area to be treated.

Using harsh products that dry or irritate the skin, such as AHA, salicylic acid and products that contain Vitamin A or retinol.
