Frequently Asked Questions About Peels

Q

What kind of treatment is a peel?

A

A chemical peel is a treatment that uses a chemical solution to soften dead skin cells on the skin’s surface and regulate the skin’s natural renewal cycle. It addresses various skin concerns on the surface, such as clogged pores, dullness, and rough texture.

Q

What skin concerns are peels effective for?

A

Peels are used to treat skin concerns such as dullness, enlarged or clogged pores, rough texture, acne, and loss of firmness. Since the characteristics vary depending on the chemical used, it is important to choose the type that best suits your skin condition.

Q

How many types of chemical peels are available at YAYOI CLINIC?

A

At YAYOI CLINIC, we offer four types of chemical peels: the Massage Peel, the Milanoli Peel, the Manuka Peel, and the Lara Doctor Peel. Since each has different active ingredients and characteristics, we recommend the treatment that best suits your skin concerns and skin type.

Q

Is there any downtime after a peel?

A

The downtime for chemical peels varies depending on the solution used. While all formulations involve relatively little downtime, you may experience redness, peeling, or a stinging sensation depending on your skin condition.

Q

How many times do you usually get a peel?

A

At YAYOI CLINIC, we generally recommend about 5 sessions of the Massage Peel once every 2 to 3 weeks, about 3 to 10 sessions of the Milanoli Peel once every 2 to 3 weeks, and about 6 to 10 sessions of the Manuka Peel once every 2 to 4 weeks. The number of sessions may vary depending on your skin condition and treatment goals.

Q

At YAYOI CLINIC, can I choose a peel based on my specific skin concerns?

A

Yes. At YAYOI CLINIC, we recommend the most suitable treatment from among three types of peels based on your skin condition and concerns. Whether you’re looking to improve firmness and radiance or are concerned about acne or enlarged pores, you can choose a treatment that suits your specific goals.

Q

Can I apply makeup right after a peel?

A

Depending on your skin condition, you can apply makeup immediately after a peel treatment at YAYOI CLINIC. However, with the Milano Peel, you must refrain from using foundation for 12 hours after the treatment.

Q

Can a peel be combined with other treatments?

A

Yes. Depending on your skin condition and treatment goals, we may combine chemical peels with laser treatments or other skin-enhancing procedures. At YAYOI CLINIC, we assess your skin condition and recommend a skincare regimen that combines multiple treatments.

Q

Can I consult with YAYOI CLINIC about their chemical peels even if it's my first time?

A

Yes. At YAYOI CLINIC, a doctor assesses your skin condition before treatment and recommends the peel best suited to your concerns. Please feel free to consult with us if you’re unsure which type to choose.
