Peels use carefully selected acids and active ingredients to gently remove dead skin cells, stimulate cellular turnover, and encourage your skin to regenerate healthier, brighter layers. Depending on the depth, a peel can target the surface (light), the mid-epidermis (medium), or extend into deeper layers (deep), where it can actually remodel the skin over time.

Most people can benefit from a peel, whether you're looking to smooth texture, brighten dullness, or address specific conditons like acne, melasma, or aging concerns. During your Skin Strategy Session, we'll assess your skin type, history, and goals to determine which peel is right for you.

That depends on your goals. A single light peel is great for a glow before an event, but for lasting change, we typically recommend a series of treatments-especially for acne, pigmentation, or advanced skin revision. Deeper DMK peels may fewer sessions because of the intensity and more pre-treatment before the peel.

We advise patients to avoid exfoliating agents at least 48 hours before their treatment. Patients should avoid AHAs, BHAs, Retinols for at least a week prior to treatment, waxing and tanning at least 2 week beforehand. Keep your skin well-hydrated and use mineral sunscreen daily.

We may also recommend a pre-treatment homecare routine to prime your skin for deeper peels.

You may experience mild redness, dryness, or flaking for a few days depending on the depth of the peel. Deeper peels can involve visible peeling or tightness for up to 7-10 days. These are all normal signs of skin renewal. Additionally, resist the urge to pick or scratch your skin to prevent potential scarring or pigmentation issues during any mild peeling or dryness that may occur post-procedure.

To maximize the outcomes of your peel and minimize potential side effects, adhering to proper aftercare is crucial. Post treatment guidelines include avoiding direct sun exposure for several days and applying a mineral sunscreen. Staying hydrated supports the skin’s recovery, while it’s advisable to steer clear of harsh skincare products or treatments containing retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid. It is critical that patients keep their skin moisturized.
