Rehabilitation after peeling

The goal of proper post-peeling care is to prevent or minimize complications and ensure a speedy recovery. This is especially relevant for dark-skinned patients, who have the most common pigment disorders. A thorough follow-up program is necessary to maintain the result of peeling in most patients.

1. Erythema, edema and desquamation are observed in the post-peeling period.
2. Gentle soaps or soap-free cleansers can be used to clean the skin.
3. In the post-peeling period, the patient should be given clear instructions.
4. Cold compresses or calamine lotion can be used as a soothing agent.
5. It is necessary to avoid scarification of the skin.
6. Analgesics are usually not needed, but they may be recommended if the burning is severe.

The main complications after peeling can be increased skin sensitivity, keratinization disorders, dry skin, post-peeling hyperpigmentation, hypotrophy.
