Lactic Acid Cool Peel

A Lactic Acid Cool Peel can help improve the appearance of dullness, rough texture, clogged pores, uneven tone, breakouts, discoloration, sun damage, and overall skin brightness.

Most clients feel warmth, tingling, or mild sensitivity during application. This usually settles quickly. Discomfort levels vary depending on your skin and the type of peel used.

Possibly. Some clients experience visible peeling or flaking, while others peel very lightly or not much at all. Peeling often begins a few days after treatment and may last several days.

Visible peeling is not the only sign that the treatment is working. Timing and intensity can vary based on your skin, the peel strength, and whether this is your first peel.

There may be a few days of dryness, tightness, flaking, or peeling. Most clients can continue normal daily activities, but you should avoid direct sun, heat, heavy sweating, swimming, and exfoliating products while your skin is recovering.

Some clients receive chemical peels every 4 to 6 weeks as part of a treatment plan, while others schedule them seasonally for skin maintenance. Your provider will recommend the best timing for your skin.

It is usually best to keep the skin clean and avoid unnecessary irritation immediately after treatment. Michelle will give you specific post care instructions based on your skin and the peel used.

Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning, hot water, saunas, heavy sweating, swimming, exfoliating products, retinol, and picking or pulling at peeling skin.

Chemical peels may not be appropriate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active cold sores, open wounds, certain allergies, recent isotretinoin/Accutane use, certain immune conditions, liver disease, or recent chemotherapy/radiation. Always share your medical history before treatment.

It depends on your skin and the event date. Because peeling, dryness, or sensitivity can occur for several days, it is best to schedule your peel with enough time for your skin to settle.

Chemical peels can be appropriate for many skin types and tones when chosen and applied correctly. A skin assessment before treatment helps determine the most suitable peel strength and formulation for your skin. If you have any concerns about your skin type or sensitivity, let Michelle know before your appointment.
