Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Chemical Peels.

Yes. At Aliana Salon we customize peel strength and formulas based on a professional skin assessment. Superficial to medium-depth peels are generally safe for most skin types; sensitive or darker skin may require tailored protocols to minimize irritation and pigmentation risks.

Most clients notice improvement after one superficial peel, but a series of three to six peels spaced weeks apart is common for deeper concerns like acne scarring or significant hyperpigmentation. Your clinician will recommend a personalized schedule during consultation.

Downtime depends on peel depth: superficial peels may cause minimal redness and flaking for a few days, while medium peels can produce several days of peeling and sensitivity. Your technician will advise recovery care and an expected timeline based on your treatment.

Yes. Peels with salicylic, glycolic, or TCA-based formulations can reduce acne scarring and help clear active breakouts by exfoliating pores and promoting regeneration. Results vary by scar depth; combined therapies may enhance outcomes for deeper scarring.

Prepare by avoiding retinoids, harsh exfoliants, and extended sun exposure for at least one week. Use gentle cleansers and broad-spectrum SPF daily. Your clinician may prescribe pre-peel creams or skin priming to reduce sensitivity and improve peel results.

Post-care includes gentle cleansing, hydrating serums, and strict daily SPF to protect healing skin. Avoid active ingredients, exfoliation, and heavy makeup until healed. We provide soothing treatments and give detailed home-care instructions to support recovery and optimal results.
