What is a lactic acid peel?

Are lactic acid peels suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, lactic acid peels are generally considered a gentle option for sensitive skin due to their mild exfoliating properties and hydrating benefits, making them less irritating than stronger peels.

How should I care for my skin after a lactic acid peel?

Post-peel care includes avoiding direct sun exposure, using a gentle cleanser, keeping the skin moisturized, and applying sunscreen daily to protect the skin while it heals.

What side effects can occur after a lactic acid peel?

Potential side effects include redness, peeling, dryness, and sensitivity. These are usually mild and temporary, but it's important to monitor your skin and consult a professional if they persist or worsen.

How often should I get lactic acid peels for best results?

The frequency of lactic acid peels can vary depending on your skin type and concerns, but typically, treatments can be scheduled every 2 to 4 weeks. It's best to consult with a skincare professional for personalized recommendations.
