Recovery varies by peel depth; mild peels require minimal downtime, often 24–72 hours, while medium peels may produce peeling and redness for up to seven days. Your technician will explain expectations and aftercare to ensure safe healing and optimal results.

Chemical peels significantly improve superficial acne scars and pigmentation by resurfacing skin layers. Multiple sessions combined with tailored home care and sun protection yield best long-term improvement, but deep scarring may require adjunctive treatments like microneedling or lasers for permanent reduction.

We customize peel selection and pre-treatment protocols to suit all skin types and tones. Clients with darker skin may need gentler acids and extended prepping to minimize hyperpigmentation risk; a patch test and consultation ensure safe, effective treatment.

Avoid retinoids, strong acids, and waxing for at least one week prior. Use gentle cleansers and sun protection, and follow any prescription skin prep we recommend to balance skin and reduce complications for a smoother peel experience.

Most clients benefit from a series of three to six peels spaced four to six weeks apart, depending on concerns. Your esthetician will create a personalized plan considering skin condition, goals, and how your skin responds to treatment.

Strict sun avoidance and broad-spectrum SPF are essential. Use gentle, hydrating products, avoid active exfoliants until healed, and follow provided soothing regimen. Contact us if you experience prolonged redness, blistering, or unusual pain — follow-up care is included when necessary.
