Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Glycolic Peel.

Typical in-office glycolic peel sessions last 30 to 60 minutes, including consultation, cleansing, peel application, neutralization, and post-treatment care. Time varies with treatment strength and customized steps tailored to your skin's needs.

Most clients experience mild tingling or warmth during application. Stronger peels may cause brief stinging, but our professionals monitor sensitivity and neutralize appropriately to ensure safety. Post-treatment redness is common and typically subsides within days.

Results depend on skin concerns and peel strength. Many clients notice improvement after one session, while optimal outcomes often require a series of three to six peels spaced a few weeks apart for cumulative benefit.

Avoid heavy exfoliation, retinoids, or waxing for one to two weeks before your peel. Use gentle sunscreen and disclose medications or sensitive skin history during consultation to reduce risk and achieve safe, effective results.

Expect redness, mild flaking, and sensitivity for several days. Avoid sun exposure, use SPF, and apply gentle moisturizers. Healing timelines vary by peel strength; follow aftercare instructions to speed recovery and protect new skin.

Glycolic peels can benefit many skin types, but darker tones may require caution to avoid hyperpigmentation. We assess skin type, recommend appropriate concentrations, and may perform a patch test to ensure safe, personalized treatment.
