Post Treatment

Downtime:0 days
Post-care:After an Aqua Peel, diligently apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily and limit direct sun exposure. Keep the treated skin well-hydrated with a gentle moisturizer. For 24-48 hours, avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise, and refrain from using exfoliating products or retinoids for at least 3-5 days.
Risks:Aqua Peel is generally very safe with minimal risks. Potential, though uncommon, side effects are typically mild and transient, including temporary redness, slight skin tightness, or increased sensitivity, which usually resolve within a few hours to a day. Allergic reactions to specific serum ingredients are rare but possible. The treatment may not be suitable for individuals with active skin infections (e.g., herpes simplex), open wounds, severe cystic acne, or known allergies to ingredients used in the solutions (e.g., aspirin allergy if salicylic acid is used).
