Peeling photographs on social media can make professional exfoliation look intriguing. A
striking image, however, does not tell you whether that procedure is suitable for your skin.
The highest advertised percentage is not a helpful way to choose, either.
Questions worth asking
Before booking, ask about the purpose of the service, the proposed product, possible
sensations and the aftercare you would need to follow. Share any retinoids, acne
treatments or recent procedures.
Intensity should be determined through assessment and the professional product’s
instructions. Your appointment should not become a test of how much discomfort you can
tolerate.
Plan for the days afterwards
Mention upcoming events, travel and outdoor activities. You need to understand the
expected recovery before deciding. Request written instructions and ask whom to contact
if you experience an unexpected reaction.
If your skin is irritated, infected or affected by an active condition, the service may need to
be postponed or preceded by advice from a healthcare professional.
