During your appointment you'll have a consultation, skin cleansing, and the selected chemical solution applied. You may feel tingling or mild stinging; a neutralizer and soothing serums follow. Treatment time varies by peel strength, usually 30–60 minutes including prep and aftercare.

Most peels cause tingling and mild discomfort during application; deeper peels bring more irritation and peeling. Downtime ranges from none for superficial peels to several days of flaking and redness for medium peels. We'll recommend pre- and post-care to minimize downtime.

Superficial peels may show improvement after one session, while medium peels often require a series of 3–6 treatments spaced weeks apart. The number depends on skin concerns, type, and desired results; we'll create a personalized plan during consultation.

Yes, but you may need milder formulations and a cautious patch test first. We assess skin sensitivity, adjust peel strength, and recommend preconditioning products to improve tolerance. If too reactive, alternative treatments may be advised for safety.

Many peels are safe for various skin tones, but certain formulas risk post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on darker skin. We select appropriate peel types and concentrations, perform patch tests, and provide tailored aftercare to protect pigment and ensure safe results.

Avoid retinoids, waxing, and excessive sun exposure for at least a week pre-treatment. Aftercare includes gentle cleansing, broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, and hydrating/soothing products. Expect peeling; do not pick skin, and follow our instructions to promote healing and best outcomes.
