Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Advanced Exfoliation - Lactic.

Yes, when customized by an experienced esthetician. We use lower concentrations and shorter exposure times, plus calming serums to minimize flushing. A patch test and medical history review ensure safety; avoid during active flare-ups and consult your provider if medications affect skin sensitivity.

For best results, a series of four to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart is typical. Frequency is adjusted for sensitivity and goals; maintenance sessions every six to twelve weeks help sustain pigment reduction and collagen stimulation.

Most clients experience minimal peeling or flaking; downtime is usually light. Sensitive-skin protocols minimize shedding. You may notice temporary redness and tightness for twenty-four to seventy-two hours. Follow aftercare with sunscreen, hydration, and gentle products to support healing.

Certain actives like retinoids or strong acids should be paused before and after treatment to avoid over-exfoliation. Our esthetician will review your skincare routine and recommend timing for reintroducing actives, and suggest soothing serums and SPF to protect results.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding require extra caution. Lactic acid is generally low-risk, but we recommend consulting your obstetrician and disclosing pregnancy. We typically opt for gentler alternatives or postpone treatments until after breastfeeding, prioritizing maternal and fetal safety.

Avoid harsh scrubs, retinoids, and waxing for at least one week prior. Disclose medications and recent procedures during your consultation. Arrive with clean skin and expect a brief patch test. Follow personalized pre-care guidance to ensure optimal, comfortable results.
