ARE THERE ANY IMMEDIATE SIDE EFFECTS?
After a Chemical Peel treatment, you can expect mild swelling, redness, crusting/scabbing, cracking, flaking, and peeling. Often skin may also turn a darker shade and become stiff before it begins the peeling process. The downtime before your skin is restored can be anywhere from 2 to 7 days depending on how quickly your skin heals.
You will physically be able to return to normal activities immediately following treatment; however, your appearance may deter you from wanting to be seen in public. You should be able to comfortably return to the public eye within 2/3 days. You will maintain a flushed appearance that will fade slowly over the course of several days post treatment.
Taking caution to properly moisturize skin before and after treatment will dramatically lessen the effects. No makeup for at least 3 days after the initial treatment.
WHAT ARE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS?
It takes the skin approximately 5 days to heal itself after a Superficial Peel, at which point you will start to see first signs of results that will maximize after a week post treatment.
Results include minimized pores, fine lines, sun damage, and acne, and moderate improvements in tone, texture, and coloration. Skin will appear tighter, smoother, more even, and radiant.
Results from a Medium-depth Chemical Peels include improvements in texture and skin tone, reduction in fine wrinkles, age spots, pore size, and dark under-eye circles, and clearer, brighter skin over all.
These effects will last for six months to a year, and improvements may persist if you adhere to usual skincare maintenance regiment with treatments like hydradermabrasion or superficial chemical peels.

Brightening Peel – Lactic Acid 40% (Level 2 Peel: Medium to strong) 150$
Lactic acid is an antiwrinkle and pigmentation-fighting ingredient.
A chemical peel works by using a chemical in this case, lactic acid on bare skin. It removes the top layer of skin (epidermis). Some stronger formulas may also target the middle layers of skin (dermis).
Despite the name, your skin doesn’t noticeably “peel” off. What is noticeable, though, are the effects underneath the removed epidermis: smoother and brighter skin.
Lactic acid is specifically used to treat hyperpigmentation, age spots, and other factors that contribute to a dull and uneven complexion. Other benefits of AHAs like lactic acid include improved skin tone and reduced pore appearance.
However, unlike AHAs such as glycolic acid, lactic acid is a bit milder. This makes a lactic acid peel a better choice for sensitive skin. Lactic acid may also be an option if you’ve tried another AHA in the past and found the product too strong.
