We assess sensitivity during consultation and adjust peel strength or skip acids as needed. Mild extractions and low-strength peels can be safe, but severe sensitivity or rosacea may contraindicate treatment; expect personalized recommendations and a patch test when appropriate.

Downtime varies with peel strength; light peels often need minimal recovery, while medium peels can cause redness and peeling for several days. Expect 2-7 days of visible flaking, with full skin renewal over two weeks; follow aftercare instructions to optimize healing.

Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, exfoliants, and harsh skincare like retinol or acids for at least one week. Use gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum SPF daily; follow technician's aftercare to prevent irritation and support healing.

Yes — pregnancy, active infections, recent isotretinoin use, open wounds, or certain skin conditions may contraindicate treatment.
