Not necessarily. Some clients may experience light flaking or peeling in the days following treatment, while others may have little to no visible peeling. Visible peeling is not required for a treatment to be beneficial.

Your appointment begins with an assessment of your skin to determine the appropriate peel for your current needs and goals. Your skin will be cleansed and prepared before the professional exfoliation is applied. You may experience warmth, tingling, or mild sensitivity during treatment depending on the peel selected.

For optimal results, we recommend preparing your skin at least 5–7 days before your appointment. Avoid exfoliating acids, scrubs, waxing, dermaplaning, and other potentially irritating treatments. Retinoids may also need to be paused as directed by your skincare professional; consult your prescriber before changing prescription products.

Avoid excessive sun exposure and arrive with healthy, hydrated skin free from sunburn or active irritation. Please disclose any medications, recent treatments, or changes in your skin before your appointment.

The Intentional Resurfacing Peel is designed for individuals looking to improve the appearance of:

• Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone

• Post-acne discoloration

• Acne and congestion

• Rough or uneven skin texture

• Dullness and lack of radiance

• Fine lines and early signs of aging

• Enlarged-looking pores

Depending on the peel selected, professional exfoliation may help improve the appearance of uneven tone, hyperpigmentation, post-acne marks, congestion, dullness, rough texture, fine lines, and overall skin clarity.

Downtime varies depending on the type and strength of peel used and your individual skin response. You may experience temporary redness, dryness, tightness, sensitivity, or flaking following treatment.

Yes. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is especially important following professional exfoliation. Limiting unnecessary sun exposure and protecting your skin are important parts of your post-peel care.

Following your treatment, prioritize gentle cleansing, hydration, barrier support, and daily broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. Avoid exfoliating products, retinoids, excessive heat, strenuous exercise, and direct sun exposure during the initial recovery period, as instructed.

Mild redness, dryness, tightness, or flaking may occur depending on your customized peel. Never pick or manually remove peeling skin. Allow your skin to renew naturally and follow your personalized aftercare instructions.

Recovery time varies based on the treatment performed. Your esthetician will guide you on when to safely resume your regular skincare routine.
