During a chemical peel treatment, what should a therapist explain to the client?

During a chemical peel treatment, it is essential for the therapist to explain the sensation and aftercare involved in the procedure. Clear communication about what the client will experience during the treatment is crucial. Clients may feel varying sensations, such as tingling, warmth, or even slight discomfort, depending on the type and strength of the peel used.

Aftercare is also a vital part of the process, as it significantly impacts the results of the treatment and the client's skin health. Clients should be informed about proper post-peel routines, such as avoiding sun exposure, using gentle cleansers, and applying moisturizers, which can aid in the healing process and enhance the effectiveness of the peel. This knowledge helps clients prepare mentally and physically for the treatment, leading to better outcomes and client satisfaction.

Understanding sensations and aftercare allows clients to have realistic expectations and promotes their overall trust in the therapist's professional judgment and skills.
