The treatment uses a corrective chemical peel, brightening masks, and active serums to inhibit melanin production and accelerate cellular renewal. Combined steps break up pigment, fade dark spots, and improve overall tone with progressive results over several weeks.

Most clients experience minimal downtime: mild redness, flaking, or sensitivity for a few days depending on peel strength. We provide post-care instructions and gentle products to support healing. Avoid direct sun and use SPF to protect results.

For visible reduction in hyperpigmentation and sun damage, a series of three to six treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is typical. Your esthetician will customize frequency based on skin response and desired outcome.

Sensitive skin can often benefit, but we begin with a consultation and patch test. We’ll adjust peel strength, use calming masks, and recommend soothing aftercare to minimize irritation while targeting pigmentation safely.

Some peeling or light flaking is normal and indicates exfoliation of sun-damaged layers. Intensity varies by peel strength. We’ll advise on at-home moisturizers and gentle cleansing to manage peeling and support comfortable recovery.

Active cold sores, recent retinoid use, pregnancy, certain medications, or recent laser treatments may preclude treatment. A thorough consultation and health history review determine suitability and safe timing for the facial.
