Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Lactic Peel / Glycolic / TCA Peel.

Many clients see improvement after a single peel, but a series of three to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart delivers optimal results for texture, tone, and fine lines. Your technician will recommend a personalized plan based on skin type and goals.

Yes, when performed at appropriate concentrations. We offer milder lactic formulations and adjusted glycolic strengths for sensitive skin, plus patch testing to ensure tolerance. Your skin assessment will determine the safest peel option or alternative treatments to minimize irritation and deliver results.

Downtime varies; mild peels may have little to no downtime, while stronger TCA peels can cause peeling and redness for several days to a week. We'll advise post-peel care, sun protection, and expected healing based on peel depth.

Yes. Glycolic and lactic peels help unclog pores, reduce breakouts, and improve surface texture, while TCA peels can fade more stubborn hyperpigmentation. We often combine peels with extractions, serums, and a tailored home-care plan to reinforce results safely.

Prepare by avoiding sun exposure, tanning, and aggressive exfoliants for at least one week. Stop retinoids and certain acids as advised by your technician. Arrive with clean skin; disclose medications and skin history so we can choose the safest peel strength and ensure optimal outcome.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding often contraindicate stronger chemical peels like TCA and high-strength glycolic. We recommend avoiding these peels during pregnancy; consult your physician. Mild lactic peels may be considered case-by-case, but a safety assessment and medical clearance are required.
