Q: If I did not experience skin sloughing after a peel, was the treatment effective?
A: Yes. When a light chemical exfoliation treatment is performed you may or may not get skin sloughing. There are many variables that will contribute to the skin's response. If you do not peel, the treatment is still effective. The use of home care products, different prepping methods and treatment options will affect the outcome. Everyone responds differently to the acids and each acid has different properties. If it is a treatment that you regularly undergo, the skin can become resilient to it. It may be necessary to "outsmart" the skin by changing the treatment. Additionally, some peels offer the option of a refreshing treatment without the downtime (i.e. no sloughing). This also many be the case where a series of treatments are designed for progressive results rather than aggressive results. Work with your aesthetician to decide which treatments are right for you.
