The process typically takes anywhere from 15-30 minutes, and the intensity of the peel is customized to your skin’s needs.
The number of chemical peels needed depends on your skin concerns and the type of peel used:
- Light Peels (e.g., glycolic/lactic acid/Green Peel level 1): 4-6 treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart, for gradual improvements in tone, texture, and mild concerns.
- Medium Peels (e.g., BioRepeel/Green peel level 2/3): 2-4 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, for moderate texture concerns, pigmentation, or acne scars.
- Deep Peels (e.g., phenol): Typically one treatment provides long-lasting results but requires significant downtime. [We do not offer these peels]
