Recommended Sessions
A course of 3-6 sessions is recommended for optimal results, depending on your skin type and concerns. Peels can be preformed every 2-4 weeks. Consistency is key in maintaining healthy, radiant skin and addressing your specific skin concerns effectively.
Downtime and Side Effects

- Skin sensitivity: Your skin might feel sensitive, dry and tighter than usual.
- Peeling or flaking: This can occur as your skin begins to heal and regenerate.
- Immediate Results: While you might notice an immediate glow, the full benefits of the treatment will develop gradually over the next few weeks as collagen production increases.
