A peel takes off a measured layer of the surface so newer skin can show. It is not a scrub, and it is not a facial with acid poured on at the end. The time on our menu is forty-five minutes. The work after you leave is longer.
What it can change
Congestion, dullness, and uneven pigment are the usual reasons. Acne Lift Peel is for breakout-prone skin. Lightening Lift Peel is for tone. The enzyme peel is the gentler option when the barrier is already thin.
What it cannot do
It cannot replace a prescription. It cannot undo last weekend of sun. It cannot run on a face that is already peeling from something else. If you are mid-retinoid or mid-needling, say so. We will move the date.
The week after
Pink is common. Flake is possible. Sunscreen is not optional, including on a grey Ottawa afternoon. If you want the full list, it is on chemical peels.
