Facial Peels in Toronto

What Is the Cost of a Facial Peel in Toronto?

The average cost of a chemical facial peel can start at around $330. However, several factors affect price, including:

• The type of peel performed. With a chemical facial peel, you can choose from a light peel, medium peel, or deep peel, varying in price and how deeply they address skin irregularities.
• The number of treatments required. Some people only need one chemical peel to treat a skin condition, but others may need to repeat the procedure regularly if their imperfections are deep or they are older patients.
• Your skincare regimen. After your facial peel, you must buy any skincare products recommended by your treatment doctor/surgeon. A post-op list of skincare products to preserve your skin can be as high as $750.
• Your skin type and severity of concerns. Concerns like sun damage will require a less expensive light peel, while deep-set wrinkles and aging concerns will require a more costly, deeper peel.

What Is the Recovery Time for Facial Peels in Toronto?

The recovery time for a facial peel depends on the strength of the solution used, but it typically takes 3-7 days. After a medium peel, skin peeling will last for one week. Within 3-5 days after the peel, the skin will peel off in small sheets or flakes and may look slightly red after it is done.

How Long Is a Facial Peel Treatment?

The time it takes to perform a facial peel depends on whether you choose a light, medium, or deep chemical peel. A full-facial deep chemical peel treatment can take up to 90 minutes. Of course, a light or medium peel will take less time. Peels are typically performed in 15-minute intervals.

What Is a Facial Peel?

A facial peel is a chemical procedure wherein a solution is applied to the skin to remove the topmost layers where the wrinkles and imperfections lay. Your skin grows back rejuvenated and smooth. You may require more than one session with a light or medium peel for optimal results. Facial peels treat wrinkles, discolouration, and scars on the face.

Deeper chemical peels can result in more noticeable differences but are also more expensive and can take longer to recover from.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Facial Peel?

Anyone can opt for a chemical facial peel, however consult with your doctor beforehand so they understand your skin type, desired results, and treatment plan.

You may not respond well to a chemical peel if you have sagging skin, bulges, or very severe wrinkles. You may need to opt for a facelift or soft tissue filler before getting a facial peel. Do not get a facial peel if you are allergic to any ingredients in the chemical solution or have any infections in the facial area.

What to Expect After a Facial Peel

After a light chemical peel, your skill will be red, dry, and irritated. You may be given a protective ointment for soothing the skin, and you can wear makeup by the next day. The treated areas will take around a week to heal.

After a medium chemical peel, your skin will be red, swollen, and stinging. Again, you may be given a protective ointment, and after 5-7 days, you can apply makeup again. Use ice packs and over-the-counter pain medication for any discomfort. Treated areas will take 7-14 days to heal, but redness can last for months.

After a deep chemical peel, you’ll be severely red and swollen, as well as experiencing a burning feeling. Your eyelids may swell shut, and your doctor/surgeon will apply a surgical dressing to the treated areas. They may also prescribe painkillers. You’ll have to soak your skin and apply ointment several times a day for two weeks. Your new skin will develop after two weeks, and redness will last for months. After two weeks, you can begin to wear makeup. Wear sunscreen every day, no matter which peel you get.

Facial Peel Recovery

With all types of facial peels, your skin texture and tone will improve and will increase with repeated treatments. Results may not be permanent, as age and sun damage can lead to new lines and discolouration over time. Always wear sunscreen and do your best to protect your skin from the sun, especially while you’re healing.
