Frequently Asked Questions
-
The immediate result is radiant skin. However, the full effect—which includes refined texture and reduced pigmentation—is visible once the flaking phase is complete, typically within 5 to 10 days.
-
Downtime varies by peel depth. For most peels, you should experience light to moderate flaking/peeling within five days. Initial redness usually subsides within 30-60 minutes after the treatment.
-
For best results and to address deep concerns like sun damage or scarring, we often recommend a series of 3 to 6 chemical peels, spaced 4 weeks apart.
-
Strict sun protection (SPF 50+) is mandatory. You must avoid picking at the flaking skin. Use only gentle, non-active cleansers and heavy moisturizers as directed by your aesthetician for one week.
-
Yes, lighter, well-controlled peels (like Lactic Acid) are safe, but it requires expert knowledge. We always recommend a patch test and very conservative treatment to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
-
