What can I expect during a Chemical Peel treatment?

During your peel, skin is cleansed, prepped, and the selected acid applied for a controlled time. You may feel tingling or warmth; mild redness or flaking can occur. Treatments take 30–60 minutes, and your provider will explain aftercare and downtime expectations.

Are chemical peels safe for sensitive skin types?

Yes — many peels are formulated for sensitive skin. We start with lower-strength options like lactic acid, perform a skin analysis, and may patch-test. Your esthetician customizes protocols to minimize irritation while achieving gradual, visible improvement.

How many sessions will I need for visible results?

Number of sessions depends on concern, skin type, and peel strength. Superficial results can appear after one treatment; best outcomes for texture, pigmentation, or fine lines often require a series of three to six sessions spaced weeks apart.

What is the downtime after different peel levels?

Downtime varies by strength. Level 1 lactic peels typically cause minimal redness and light flaking for several days. Level 2 may produce increased peeling and redness up to a week. Level 3 and advanced treatments can require one to two weeks of recovery and strict sun protection.

Can peels treat underarm discoloration safely and effectively?

Yes. The Bright & Smooth Underarm Peel is formulated for sensitive underarm skin to safely exfoliate and reduce pigmentation. Multiple gentle treatments, sun protection, and follow-up maintenance typically produce noticeable lightening and smoother texture.

Do I need to avoid sun before and after peel?

Yes. Avoid tanning and minimize sun exposure for at least two weeks before and after treatment. Use broad-spectrum SPF daily, wear protective clothing, and follow our aftercare instructions to reduce complications, hyperpigmentation risk, and ensure optimal healing and results.
