What is a peel and how often should I get one?
A peel is a heavy exfoliation treatment that is based in either chemicals or natural enzymes. To achieve optimal results, a series is recommended, which consists of 4 to 6 peels in a row that are performed anywhere between 14 to 30 days apart. Peels should only be performed when sun exposure is limited and when no topical medications are being used (such as retinols or Accutane). Peels are important because they support cellular renewal, which can help control acne, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, reduce pigmentation and sun damage, and revitalize the skin for a more healthy and even tone and texture.
