What to Expect:
Patients will likely experience a mild heat sensation as the peel activates on the skin Immediately after the peel, your skin may have a yellow tinge due to the color of the product that is being applied. This will wash off when you cleanse your skin. Approximately 48 hours after the treatment, your skin will start to peel. If peeling occurs the process may last anywhere from 3 to 7 days depending on the type of peel that was applied.
