Predictable Peeling:
The application process is virtually painless and takes approximately 15 minutes. The peel solution is applied here in our office. The solution is self-neutralizing so it will not burn your skin. After six hours, wash your face with a gentle cleanser (it's safe to leave on longer as well). Day 2 your skin looks perfectly fine. Day 3 you will begin peeling around your mouth. Day 4 and 5 you will finish peeling. Day 6-7 your skin's PH balance will restore itself. Day 7 your skin will look tighter, brighter, and years younger!
