Deep peels delayed healing

Post-peel hydration is also important. The skin should not be allowed to dry out while it is re-epithelializing after a medium or superficial peel it needs to be hydrated. Proper hydration prevents pruritus and delayed healing. Hydration after a deep peel is essential after the first week. 

When patients need a second peel it is performed without chaise. Long-term care following deep peels should include sunscreens for at least 6 months. The possibility of delayed scarring mandates at least 3 months of jxjst-operative observation. When patients need a second phenolic peel, it is performed without charge when healing is complete.
