Yes, when customized by our estheticians. We perform a skin assessment and can use lower acid concentrations, shorter application times, or alternative exfoliation for sensitive or active acne-prone skin. A patch test and post-care guidance reduce irritation risk.

Most clients see improvement after 3 to 6 sessions spaced two to four weeks apart, depending on skin condition and strength used. Maintenance treatments every 6–8 weeks keep pores clear and brightness sustained. Your esthetician will personalize a treatment plan.

Mild flaking or transient redness can occur, especially with stronger acid strengths, but most clients experience minimal downtime. We tailor intensity to your tolerance and provide aftercare to manage peeling. Avoid picking and use soothing moisturizers and sunscreen to support healing.
