First-time peel clients, sensitive or reactive skin, sun-damaged or dull-looking skin, and anyone wanting a gentle "lunchtime" refresh before an event.

Approximately 30 minutes.

None to minimal. Mild, temporary pinkness is possible; most clients return to normal activities immediately.

Active cold sores, open wounds, sunburn, known allergy to fruit enzymes, or use of Accutane/isotretinoin within the last 6 months. Not recommended during active eczema or dermatitis flare-ups.

Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily, avoid direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours, skip retinoids/exfoliants for 3 days, and keep skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer.

A brief in-person or virtual skin consultation is recommended for new clients to confirm skin type and rule out contraindications.

Dry or dehydrated skin, early signs of fine lines, and clients wanting gradual texture improvement with minimal irritation.

Approximately 40 minutes.

Minimal — light flaking or tightness may occur for 1–2 days.

Pregnancy or breastfeeding (consult your physician first), active skin infections, recent laser or waxing in the treatment area (within 5–7 days), or known sensitivity to lactic/alpha-hydroxy acids.

Use SPF daily, avoid heat treatments (sauna, hot yoga) for 24 hours, moisturize twice daily, and avoid mechanical exfoliation for 5–7 days.

Recommended for all first-time clients; required for clients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on prescription retinoids.

Sun damage, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and clients who want visible results with little to no visible peeling.

Approximately 40–45 minutes.

Minimal. Slight redness for a few hours is common; visible flaking is uncommon at this strength.

Active isotretinoin use, pregnancy/breastfeeding without physician clearance, recent chemical exfoliation, sunburned or broken skin, or known glycolic acid sensitivity.

Strict daily SPF, avoid direct sun and tanning beds for 48–72 hours, pause retinoid and acid-based products for 5 days, and keep skin well moisturized.

A pre-treatment consultation is required to map peel strength to your skin's tolerance and history.

Uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, melasma-prone skin, and post-acne discoloration.

Approximately 40–45 minutes.

Minimal; slight sensitivity or light peeling may appear over 2–3 days.

Active melasma flare without prior physician guidance, pregnancy/breastfeeding, recent sun exposure or sunburn, isotretinoin use, or known acid sensitivity.

SPF 30+ is non-negotiable to protect brightening results, avoid sun exposure, skip brightening/acid actives for 5–7 days, and moisturize consistently.

Required — pigmentation concerns need an in-person assessment to set realistic expectations and confirm suitability.

Hyperpigmentation, mild active acne, acne scarring, and sun-damaged or aging skin needing a deeper reset.

Approximately 45 minutes.

3–5 days of visible peeling/flaking is typical; redness may last 1–2 days.

Isotretinoin use within 6–12 months, active cold sores, pregnancy/breastfeeding, keloid scarring history, very recent sun exposure, or compromised skin barrier.

Do not pick or peel flaking skin, apply SPF 30+ daily, keep skin gently moisturized, avoid makeup for 24 hours if advised, and skip exfoliants/retinoids for 7 days.

Required for all clients due to the medium-depth nature of this peel and its longer downtime.

Deeper sun damage, more pronounced texture or tone concerns, and clients seeking more dramatic renewal who have already tolerated lighter peels well.

Approximately 45–60 minutes.

5–7 days of visible peeling is expected; skin may appear tight, red, or bronzed during healing.

Isotretinoin use within the past 6–12 months, active cold sores or skin infection, pregnancy/breastfeeding, keloid or hypertrophic scarring history, and darker Fitzpatrick skin types without prior specialist guidance (higher risk of pigment changes).

Do not pick, scratch, or manually remove peeling skin. Apply SPF 30+ daily once healed, avoid sun exposure and heat/sweat-inducing activity until fully healed, and follow the aftercare kit/instructions provided at checkout.

Required in person. Given the depth and downtime of this peel, a consultation and patch test may be requested before scheduling.

Active acne (especially blackheads/whiteheads), congested or oily skin, and clients managing recurring breakouts.

Approximately 40 minutes.

Minimal; light dryness or flaking possible for 1–3 days.

Salicylate/aspirin allergy, pregnancy/breastfeeding without physician clearance, isotretinoin use, open or infected lesions, or very sensitive/reactive skin barrier.

Avoid picking at breakouts, apply SPF daily, use a gentle non-comedogenic moisturizer, and pause other acids/retinoids for 3–5 days.

Recommended for new clients; required if currently using prescription acne medication.
