Thank you for choosing Ya Wee Butey for your Medical Grade Chemical Peels treatment. Please follow these aftercare instructions carefully to achieve the best results.

This advanced skin resurfacing treatment helps to improve skin texture, tone, clarity, pigmentation, congestion, and overall skin quality by encouraging exfoliation and cellular renewal.

To achieve the best results and minimise the risk of side effects, please follow the aftercare instructions below carefully.

Immediately After Treatment

• Immediately after your Chemical Peel treatment, your skin may look red and feel warm, tight, sensitive, or slightly tingly. This is normal and should gradually settle.

• You may also notice mild dryness, flaking, or peeling over the following days depending on the strength of peel used and your skin’s response.

• Avoid touching the treated area unless your hands are clean.

• Do not apply make up for at least 24 hours after treatment.

• Do not apply perfumed products, exfoliants, retinol, acids, vitamin C, or any active skincare products immediately after treatment.

• Use only the aftercare products recommended by your practitioner.

• Keep the skin clean, hydrated, and protected.

• Avoid heat, sweating, exercise, saunas, steam rooms, hot baths, swimming, and sunbeds for at least 24-48 hours.

Healing & Results

• Redness, warmth, tightness, dryness, mild swelling, flaking, peeling, and sensitivity are normal after a Chemical Peel and should gradually settle over the next few days.

• The level of peeling can vary from person to person. Some clients may peel visibly, while others may experience only mild dryness or flaking.

• Do not pick, scratch, or pull at the skin, as this can increase the risk of irritation, infection, pigmentation, or scarring.

• The skin may feel drier or more sensitive than usual during the healing process, so keep it hydrated using gentle products recommended by your practitioner.

• Some clients notice a fresher, brighter appearance within a few days, but results continue to improve as the skin renews.

• Results are gradual and may continue to improve over the following weeks.

• A course of treatments may be recommended for best results, depending on your skin concerns and treatment plan.

• A review appointment can be arranged if required.

Supporting Your Results

• Follow all aftercare instructions carefully to help support healing and achieve the best possible results.

• Keep your skin hydrated using gentle skincare products recommended by your practitioner.

• Apply a high factor SPF daily, even on cloudy days, to protect your skin and help maintain results.

• Avoid sunbeds and excessive sun exposure, as UV damage can affect healing, increase sensitivity, and worsen pigmentation.

• Do not pick, scratch, or exfoliate the skin while it is healing.

• Maintain a consistent skincare routine as advised by your practitioner once your skin has fully settled.

• Drink plenty of water and support your skin with a healthy lifestyle where possible.

• Attend your recommended treatment course and review appointments to help achieve longer-lasting improvements.

• Results can vary from person to person depending on skin condition, lifestyle, age, peel strength, and treatment plan.
