Frequently Asked Questions
Know before you book.
The Stimulator Peel is generally a lighter option, while the 3-Step Peel is more corrective and involves more recovery. Skin type, concerns, sensitivity, and schedule guide the choice.
Visible peeling depends on the treatment and individual response. A successful peel does not always require dramatic shedding.
Peels may improve discoloration and superficial texture, but deeper acne scars often require a different or combined approach such as microneedling or laser resurfacing.
Certain retinoids, exfoliants, or irritating products may need to be paused. Do not make changes until the practice provides individualized instructions.
Very important. Freshly treated skin can be more sun-sensitive, and unprotected exposure can increase irritation or pigment risk.
