Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Advanced Exfoliation - Lactic.

Unlike stronger peels, Advanced Exfoliation - Lactic uses low-concentration lactic acid to gently dissolve dead skin cells. It's designed for sensitive skin, focusing on gradual resurfacing, improving texture, and reducing discoloration with minimal irritation and shorter recovery than deeper chemical peels.

Yes. Formulated specifically to minimize irritation, lactic acid is milder than many AHA options. We perform a skin assessment and patch test to confirm tolerance, adjusting concentration and post-care to protect rosacea-prone or reactive skin during treatment.

Most clients see noticeable improvement after 3–6 sessions spaced four weeks apart. Personalized plans vary based on concerns like hyperpigmentation and aging; we'll recommend a schedule during your consultation to achieve optimal, gradual resurfacing results.

Expect some mild redness and temporary sensitivity for 24–72 hours. Flaking or light peeling may occur as dead cells shed. Follow our soothing aftercare—hydration, gentle cleansers and strict sun protection—to speed recovery and protect new skin.

Yes. Lactic acid lightens superficial pigmentation by accelerating cell turnover and promoting more even melanin distribution. For deeper or stubborn spots, we may combine treatments or adjust strength while carefully monitoring skin to avoid over-exfoliation.

Contraindications include active cold sores, recent isotretinoin use, open wounds, uncontrolled acne, or recent deep peels. Pregnancy or certain medical conditions require consultation. We conduct a full assessment to ensure safety and tailor or postpone treatment if needed.
