Acid Peels

Following your acid peel treatment, your skin may appear pink and feel tight, dry, or slightly sensitive. Mild flaking or peeling may occur over the next few days as your skin naturally renews itself—this is a normal part of the process. Do not pick or peel any loose skin, as this may cause irritation or affect your results. For the first 5–7 days, avoid exfoliating products, retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, and any other active skincare ingredients unless otherwise advised. Keep your skincare routine simple by using gentle cleansers and moisturisers, and apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day, avoiding direct sun exposure whenever possible. Avoid excessive heat, saunas, steam rooms, swimming, and strenuous exercise for at least 24–48 hours. Staying well hydrated and following these aftercare instructions will help support your skin's healing process and maximise the benefits of your treatment.
