Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Illuminating Facial - 80 Mins.

Yes—our estheticians customize the Illuminating Facial for sensitive skin using milder peel strengths, patch testing, and calming masks. We may avoid aggressive actives if you have active rosacea or open wounds; discuss your history during consultation for a safe plan.

Downtime varies with peel strength—expect mild redness and flaking for one to five days. Most clients return to normal activities quickly but should avoid heavy exercise, heat, and sun exposure. We provide aftercare to minimize peeling and protect results.

For significant hyperpigmentation improvement we typically recommend a series of four to six Illuminating Facial - 80 Mins sessions spaced three to four weeks apart, then maintenance treatments quarterly. Your esthetician will tailor frequency to your skin’s severity and response.

The peel combines professional exfoliants such as AHAs or mild BHAs with brightening actives like vitamin C, tranexamic acid, and kojic or azelaic acid. Concentrations are medical-grade and applied under supervision for safe, effective lightening.

We do not recommend retinoid-based or strong chemical peels during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Inform your technician—safer alternatives like enzyme or lactic acid peels and soothing masks can often be used after consultation.

Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, avoid direct sun exposure, and use gentle cleansers and moisturizers. Skip retinoids or exfoliants until skin fully heals; follow any at-home serums your esthetician prescribes to sustain lightening and protect results.
