We'll cleanse and prep your skin, apply the peel for a controlled period, then neutralize it. You may feel tingling or warmth; redness and mild peeling follow. Our estheticians customize strength and post-care instructions for safe, effective results.

Many clients notice brighter, smoother skin within one to two weeks as peeling subsides. Optimal improvement in texture and fine lines appears after several sessions spaced weeks apart; your provider will recommend a plan tailored to your skin goals.

Safety depends on peel strength and individual skin concerns. We evaluate sensitivity and pigmentation risks during consultation; milder formulations or alternative peels may be recommended for darker or reactive skin to minimize hyperpigmentation and irritation.

Stick to gentle cleansing, intensive hydration, and broad-spectrum SPF daily. Avoid picking or exfoliating as skin peels. We'll provide a tailored home-care kit, timelines for recovery, and when to resume active ingredients like retinols.

Contraindications include active infections, cold sores, recent isotretinoin use, pregnancy, and certain skin conditions. We'll review medical history and perform a skin assessment to confirm suitability, and may postpone or recommend alternatives if risks exist.
