Contraindications
There are some contraindications for peels, including active herpes, warts, hypertrophic scars, and keloids. It is important to follow the instructions and recommendations provided by the esthetician, such as using zinc oxide lotions. Additionally, it is recommended not to wash the face for at least 12 hours after the treatment to avoid irritations.

Cost
The cost of the peel varies depending on the type of treatment.

Duration of the session
The duration of this treatment is approximately 1 hour.

Generally, 6 to 12 sessions are required, depending on the needs of the skin. Depigmentation results begin to be visible after the third or fourth session. The frequency of each peel depends on the individual case; for example, superficial peels can be done weekly, while more intense ones are done monthly.
