FAQ

• How much discomfort should be expected during a peel?

  The level of discomfort depends on the treatment. Most peels are gentle and create minimal to no burning or stinging sensations in the skin. Dramatic wrinkling, sun damage, or acne scars may require a deeper peel, which may cause moderate stinging for a few minutes. Deep peels are not necessary for most skin types and conditions. Peels create and produce beautiful and immediate results with minimal discomfort for the majority of patients.

• Should people who are frequently in the sun receive peels?

  Yes, but only if they use sunscreen protection every day. Sun bathing should be avoided prior to treatment, directly following the treatment, and while the skin is peeling. If you are receiving peel treatments to reduce skin discoloration (hyper pigmentation), it is imperative to use the appropriate skin brightening products as well as broad-spectrum sun protection and avoid unnecessary sun exposure to reduce the chance of further hyper pigmentation.

• Will a peel make thin skin even thinner?

  No, having a peel will remove surface buildup, hydrate the skin and give it a plumper, 'thicker' appearance. The use of topical vitamin c, retinol and peptide products in a treatment, as well as in a daily care regiment, will help build the collagen and elastin network in the skin thus making it stronger and more durable.

  Discomfort is dependent of patient's level of pain tolerance as well as the strength of each individual treatment.

• How many do I need?

  The number of treatments required is dependant on the issue being targeted but often, optimal results can be achieved within 4 to 6 treatments.
