A chemical peel in Lakewood Ranch may cause some discomfort, but typically it isn’t a painful treatment. The level of sensation depends on the intensity of the peel:
- Light peels often cause mild tingling or a slight stinging sensation that usually subsides quickly.
- Medium peels may cause a more intense stinging or burning feeling during and shortly after the procedure.
- Deep peels can cause significant discomfort, and a local anesthetic or sedation will be used to manage the experience.
