Generally safe when administered by trained professionals, but suitability depends on your skin type and concerns. We perform a consultation and patch test to minimize risks. Sensitive or darker skin tones may require lower concentrations or alternative treatments to reduce irritation and pigmentation risk.

A typical Hydra Glycol 30% MD appointment lasts about 30 to 45 minutes, including consultation, cleansing, peel application and neutralization. Total time varies based on skin condition and whether extractions or complementary treatments are performed.

Most clients experience mild redness and tingling for 24–72 hours, followed by light flaking for three to seven days. Avoid picking, heavy exfoliation and direct sun exposure. Use gentle moisturizers and broad-spectrum SPF to support healing and prevent pigmentation.

For visible improvement we recommend a series of three to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every three months can help preserve results. Customized plans are created during consultation based on your skin goals and tolerance.

Hydra Glycol 30% MD can help manage mild acne by exfoliating pores, reducing comedones and improving post-inflammatory marks. It may also soften shallow scarring. Active cystic acne or severe scarring may require medical treatments or combined therapies for optimal results.

Common side effects include temporary redness, stinging and peeling. Contraindications include pregnancy, recent isotretinoin use, open wounds, active cold sores or recent intense sun exposure. Full medical history and patch testing ensure safety and determine whether this peel is appropriate for you.
