During which season are chemical peels generally not recommended?

Chemical peels are generally not recommended during the summer due to increased sun exposure. After a chemical peel, the skin can be sensitive and more susceptible to sun damage. The healing process can be hindered by UV rays, which increase the risk of complications such as hyperpigmentation or irritation.

During the summer, people are more likely to engage in outdoor activities and sun exposure, which can counteract the benefits of the treatment and lead to adverse effects. Therefore, it is advisable to schedule chemical peels in the fall, winter, or early spring when sun exposure is typically less intense, allowing for safer healing and optimal results.
