Is there any discomfort during the treatment?
That depends on type of treatment. Most chemical peels are very gentle and may create a very little or no burning or stinging sensation.

Can I suntan while receiving treatment series?
Tanning should be avoided prior to your treatment, as well as after the treatment and while skin is still peeling. You could potentially increase the chance of hyper-pigmentation.
Excessive sun exposure is also a cause of sun damaged skin, premature aging etc.
Is there any down time?
Typically you may return to work right after the peel. It is not recommended to work out for about 48 hour after the peel. You must avoid using water on the treated area the day of the treatment as well as avoid shower, hot tub or sauna. Other then that there is no downtime after receiving chemical peel.
Will my skin start "peeling" after the treatment?
Amount of peeling if any varies from person to person. You might see light to medium flaking by two or three days after the treatment. Depending on a type of peel you received it might be possible that some flaking may last for up to five or six days.
Some client may experience very little peeling. Please keep your skin well hydrated during this time to prevent any discomfort.
My skin is very dry and thin. Will I get any benefit?
In most caser dryness of the skin is caused by a built up of dead cells that will prevent your skin from absorbing any hydrating product you may be using at this time. Having a light peel might help you remove that built up on the surface of your skin, as well as help with hydration and giving your skin more plump or thicker appearance.
