Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Pure Retinol Peel Treatment + LED Light Therapy.

Most clients experience mild tingling or warmth during the peel and LED session. Discomfort is minimal and transient; we tailor application to sensitivity. Post-peel redness and tightness may occur but typically resolve within a few days with proper aftercare.

We recommend a series of three for initial improvement, or six sessions for more significant textural and pigment concerns. Treatments are scheduled every 3-4 weeks; your esthetician will customize frequency based on skin response and goals.

Pregnant or nursing clients, those using isotretinoin, recent facial laser or chemical peels, active cold sores, or severe rosacea should avoid this peel. A thorough consultation and medical history review will determine eligibility and safe alternatives.

Downtime is typically mild: 2–7 days of flaking, redness, and tightness as skin peels and renews. Avoid sun exposure and heavy exfoliation during recovery. We'll provide step-by-step homecare to minimize irritation and support optimal healing.

Discontinue retinoids, acids, and aggressive exfoliants 5–7 days before treatment. Avoid sunburns and waxing. Arrive with clean skin; your esthetician may recommend pre-treatment products to strengthen skin and reduce sensitivity for safer, more comfortable results.

Initial smoothing and glow are often visible within 7–14 days as cell turnover occurs. More significant improvements in texture, tone and fine lines appear after three treatments, with optimal results after a full recommended series and maintenance sessions.
