Get answers to common questions about Advanced Exfoliation - Glycolic.

A typical session lasts 45 to 60 minutes, including consultation, cleansing, targeted application, and neutralization. Your technician customizes peel strength after assessing skin. Immediate texture improvements are visible, with continued refinement over several days as the epidermis renews.

Many sensitive skin clients can receive a modified glycolic treatment, but we require a thorough consultation and patch test. We adjust acid concentration and application time to minimize irritation. Alternative gentle exfoliation options are available if peeling risk is too high.

Expect mild to moderate redness and 2–7 days of flaking depending on peel strength and skin type. Most people resume light activities immediately, but avoid heavy exercise, saunas, and direct sun while skin heals. We provide aftercare to minimize discomfort.

Recommended course is usually three to six treatments spaced three to four weeks apart for cumulative resurfacing. Your technician will personalize frequency based on concerns, skin response, and goals. Many clients see marked improvement after the first treatment.

Yes, with proper scheduling. Avoid combining glycolic peels immediately with lasers, microneedling, or aggressive therapies. Wait at least two weeks before and after such procedures. We’ll coordinate your treatment plan and recommend complementary facials or LED therapy once skin has stabilized.

Before treatment, avoid strong retinoids, glycolic products, excessive sun exposure, and recent tanning for two weeks. Disclose medications like isotretinoin or antibiotics. We’ll perform a consultation to assess suitability and may postpone treatment for safety reasons.
