THE PERFECT PEEL FAQs : Your Frequently Asked Questions Answered

1. What is The Perfect Peel?
The Perfect Peel is a medical-grade, medium-depth chemical peel that combines several powerful ingredients — including glutathione (an antioxidant), TCA, salicylic acid, retinoic acid, kojic acid, phenol, and vitamin C — to exfoliate the skin and provide deep rejuvenation and brightness.

2. What concerns can it address?
It's effective for treating:
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage, age spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma
  • Enlarged pores, acne, and acne scars
  • Dull, uneven, or rough skin texture
  • Promotes collagen and elastin for firmer, brighter skin

3. Who can get it and are there any restrictions?
Suitable for just about everyone--Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI (all skin types and ethnicities) are safe to treat.

Contraindications include:
  • Under 18 years old
  • Active skin infections, open wounds, eczema or psoriasis flares
  • Recent Accutane use (must be discontinued months prior)
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding
  • Certain medical treatments like chemotherapy or radiotherapy
 
4. How long does the treatment take?
The peel application itself takes just 15 minutes, with the entire appointment including consultation taking about 30 minutes.

5. What’s the peeling and recovery process like?
  • Day 1–2: Skin is tight, may look darker or sunburnt; do not touch, wash vigorously, or apply products.
  • Evening of Day 1: Use the provided post-peel towelette; mild stinging is normal.
  • Day 3–5: Peeling typically begins in sheets. Gently wash (don’t scrub), pat dry, and apply the provided moisturizer. Avoid picking.
  • Day 6+: Peeling mostly ends; you can typically resume your normal skincare routine.

6. How often should I get The Perfect Peel?
  • Initial course: 2–3 peels, spaced 4 weeks apart, for more stubborn concerns like melasma or active acne.
  • Maintenance: 2–3 peels per year (every 3–4 months) to maintain results.

7. What kind of results and longevity can I expect?
  • Noticeable improvements in skin tone, texture, brightness, and firmness, sometimes even after one treatment.
  • Results can last long as your skin is maintained with quality skincare (e.g., vitamin-C serums).
  • Cellular renewal continues for up to 28 days post-peel.

8. What should I do to prepare and care for my skin?
  • No pre-conditioning required, except:
    • Stop Retinol 2 weeks before.
    • Discontinue Accutane 3–6 months prior.

  • Aftercare essentials:
    • Use only the supplied moisturizer.
    • Gently cleanse; avoid heavy sweating or saunas.
    • Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen, especially if exposure occurs (ideally every 2 hours).

9. Is it painful?
Some patients describe a slight stinging or tingling during application that subsides quickly. Phenol in the formula may offer some numbing comfort. Overall, it's considered relatively comfortable and well-tolerated.

10. How is it different from other chemical peels?
  • Unique blend of glutathione + multiple acids/vitamins, delivering deeper, more comprehensive results with minimal downtime.
  • Quick application and recovery compared to deeper peels.
