Q. How often can I get a chemical exfoliation treatment (aka a peel)?

A. The time to wait in between each chemical exfoliation treatment will vary depending on the strength of the peel. A good rule of thumb is to never peel already peeling skin, meaning that if you are still seeing sloughing from your last treatment DON'T go in for another just yet.
Instead book a gentle facial or a treatment involving enzymatic exfoliation to remove the dead skin cells.

More superficial peels may be performed more often than more aggressive ones. Additionally, a series of various treatments may be a better fit to get the results you are wanting. Talk to your skincare professional to customize a proper regimen for you!
