Lactic Acid Peels loosen the outer layers of the epidermis (skin) through exfoliation. As these damaged skin layers are brushed away, it is replaced with new, healthier skin by promoting healthy cell growth. During the peel, patients notice a warm and pink characteristic to the face and will heal within a week. It is important to wear sunscreen, stay out of the sun, and avoid exfoliating or scrubbing your skin until your skin heals.
