What the peel does
This level II–III exfoliation is an option for oily skin, active breakouts and post-acne marks. Salicylic acid helps loosen oil and pore debris and removes surface layers to reveal smoother skin. Up to two peel layers are applied during the treatment to control strength and response.
Outcomes vary by skin and frequency of treatments; visible peeling usually begins two to four days after application and typically lasts six to eight days. That predictable peeling window shapes aftercare and timing for events or sun exposure; daily sunscreen and deliberate sun avoidance are essential while the skin is recovering.
Treatment timing and cost
Appointments last about 45 minutes and include evaluation and application. Pricing starts at Starting at $79; for up to two layers the range noted by our protocols is $99–$135, and peel packages are available for repeat treatments. We discuss layering and cost before you commit so you know what to expect.
When performed as a series, treatments spaced about two weeks apart tend to produce more noticeable fading of post-acne marks than a single session. During each appointment the clinician applies up to two layers and monitors your skin’s response to decide whether to stop or add another layer.
Aftercare and local factors
Aftercare is shaped by Mascotte’s humid subtropical climate: hot, sunny summers and a busy outdoor lifestyle increase the importance of sunscreen and sun avoidance during the six to eight day peeling period. Plan appointments with local schedules in mind — our evening and weekend times suit commuters and families returning from US 27 routes or lake outings.
Clients often choose peels ahead of local events like Montverde Academy activities or waterfront weekends, but should expect visible shedding for nearly a week. Many patients see smoother, clearer skin and gradual fading of marks over a series of sessions, though no specific result can be guaranteed.
