If you’re getting a professional peel, there's one big thing you should know about the process. Since this is technically an exfoliating treatment, you should avoid using any other exfoliating products for at least a week leading up to your appointment, as over-exfoliating can cause the skin to be sensitive and reactive.

During your glycolic acid peel session, our skilled team will delicately apply one or more carefully selected chemicals to your skin. Throughout the treatment, you may feel a temporary burning or stinging sensation, but rest assured, this discomfort usually eases within minutes. Your comfort is our priority, and we'll be attentive to your needs throughout the procedure. Once the peel is complete, we'll apply a soothing cool compress to your skin, ensuring a pleasant and comfortable experience throughout the entire session.

Following your glycolic acid peel, the length of the recovery period will depend on the intensity of the peel. It's entirely normal to experience redness as a common reaction once the procedure begins. Over the next 24 to 48 hours, your skin may tighten and gently flake, as part of the natural exfoliation process. Rest assured, this peeling phase typically lasts no more than seven days.
