For your Lactic Acid Peel appointment, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and arriving with clean skin free from makeup where possible. A loose-fitting top with a wide neckline or buttons is ideal to allow easy access to the face, neck and décolletage while ensuring maximum comfort during your treatment. Soft, breathable fabrics are recommended, as the skin may feel slightly warm, hydrated and sensitive following treatment. Avoid high collars, scarves or rough fabrics that may cause friction or irritation during the healing process. Please avoid applying heavy creams, fake tan, perfumes or active skincare products to the treatment area before your appointment unless otherwise advised. Mild dryness or light flaking may occur as the skin renews itself, so loose clothing is particularly important if the neck or chest is being treated. Your comfort and privacy are always our priority, and disposable headbands, towels and gowns are provided when required to help you relax and enjoy your treatment. Protecting the skin from excessive heat, friction and sun exposure following your peel will help support optimal healing and enhance your results.

Downtime is usually minimal. Some clients may experience mild redness, dryness or slight flaking following treatment, but this is generally temporary and settles quickly.

Treatments are usually performed every few weeks depending on your skin condition and treatment goals. Your practitioner will recommend the most suitable treatment plan.

Some clients notice visible improvement after one treatment, while others may benefit from a course of treatments depending on their skin concerns and desired results.

Clients often notice softer, smoother and more radiant skin following treatment. Benefits may include improved hydration, brighter skin tone and smoother skin texture.

Most clients experience only a mild tingling or warming sensation during treatment. The procedure is generally very comfortable and well tolerated.
