Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Glycolic Treatment (Add-On).

The add-on typically takes 10 to 20 minutes depending on concentration and treatment area. Your esthetician will assess your skin and adjust application time for comfort and optimal results, then neutralize and apply soothing products afterward.

Many clients with acne-prone or mildly sensitive skin benefit from low-concentration glycolic treatments. We recommend patch testing and lower strengths initially; your esthetician will tailor the peel and aftercare to minimize irritation and support healing.

For general maintenance, every three to six weeks is common. Sensitive skin may need longer intervals. Your esthetician will recommend a personalized schedule based on skin type, goals, and response to treatment to maximize benefits while preventing irritation.

Temporary redness, mild stinging, or peeling are possible and usually resolve within a few days. Avoid sun exposure and use SPF; if severe irritation occurs, contact us immediately so we can provide post-treatment care recommendations.

Often yes — the glycolic add-on complements many facials and treatments, enhancing exfoliation and product penetration. Some advanced or highly active treatments may not combine safely; book a consultation so we can tailor services to your skin and goals.

Use gentle cleansers, avoid active ingredients like retinoids or vitamin C for 48 to 72 hours, keep skin hydrated, and apply broad-spectrum SPF daily. Follow any specific product recommendations from your esthetician for optimal healing and long-term results.
