Peel: These important questions should be answered by the dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon performing the chemical peel. Your facial area will be raw and very irritated for days and,as such, will be susceptible to infection. You must get specific instructions and guidance for post treatment care and not apply any compounds to your face that aren't approved.
