Get answers to common questions about Salicylic and Mandelic Peel Add-On.

Many clients notice clearer, smoother skin immediately after treatment, with ongoing improvements over one to four weeks. A series of peels often provides the best long-term results; our skin therapists will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your concerns.

Mandelic acid is gentler and often better tolerated, but we perform a consultation and optional patch test to ensure safety. We can adjust concentration and technique to minimize irritation for sensitive or combination acne-prone skin.

Frequency depends on your skin type and goals. Many clients receive treatments every two to four weeks initially; after improvement, maintenance treatments are spaced farther apart. Your clinician will evaluate healing and recommend a safe schedule for best results.

Most people experience minimal peeling or mild flaking for a few days; downtime is generally limited. We provide post-peel care instructions and recommend gentle skincare and sun protection to support healing and prevent irritation or excessive dryness.

Yes — this add-on pairs well with many facial services like extractions and hydrating masks. It may be contraindicated immediately before aggressive treatments or lasers; your therapist will coordinate timing and customize combinations safely.

Contraindications include open wounds, active infections, recent isotretinoin use, and certain skin conditions. Use caution with pregnancy and breastfeeding due to salicylic acid; disclose medications and medical history so we can determine safety.
