Yes, when customized. We assess sensitivity and choose gentler peel types or lower concentrations, perform patch testing when needed, and provide a tailored aftercare plan to minimize irritation while improving skin condition.

Downtime depends on peel depth: light peels often cause mild redness and flaking for 2–5 days, while medium peels can require 5–10 days of peeling and redness. We give detailed aftercare to support healing.

Yes. Peels help reduce oiliness, unclog pores, and accelerate cell turnover to improve active acne and fade post-inflammatory pigmentation. For deeper scarring, combined or series treatments may be recommended after evaluation.

Avoid retinoids, strong acids, and excessive sun exposure for 1–2 weeks prior. Use gentle cleansers, moisturizer, and SPF. Follow any specific pre-peel regimen we provide to ensure an even, safe treatment.

Common effects include redness, flaking, and temporary sensitivity. Less common risks are prolonged redness, pigment changes, or infection if aftercare isn't followed. We minimize risk through assessment, appropriate peel selection, and clear instructions.
