Q: Will my face be red after the treatment?

Unlike harsher treatments, hydrodermabrasion leaves the skin looking plump and glowing, not red or inflamed. You can comfortably go out in public, return to work, or attend an event immediately after your session.

Q: Does the extraction process hurt?

Not at all. The vacuum suction used to clear out blackheads and congestion is completely painless. Most patients describe the sensation as a light, refreshing, and relaxing massage on the face.

Q: How is it different from traditional Microdermabrasion?

Traditional microdermabrasion uses abrasive crystals or a diamond wand to physically scratch away dead skin, which can sometimes cause irritation. Hydrodermabrasion uses a gentle, water-based solution and a smooth tip, making it far less irritating and much more hydrating.

Q: What is Hydrodermabrasion?

It is an advanced, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses the power of water, oxygen, and gentle vacuum suction to simultaneously exfoliate dead skin cells, extract impurities, and infuse the skin with hydrating serums.

Q: What is the most important post-peel care?

Sun protection is absolutely mandatory. The fresh, new skin is highly sensitive to UV rays. You must apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily, avoid direct sunlight, and keep the skin deeply moisturized with the specific products we recommend.

Q: How often should I get a chemical peel?

Light peels can be done every 2 to 4 weeks for maintenance and a continuous glow. Medium-depth peels are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, usually in a series of 3 to 6 sessions for transformative results.

Q: Can I pull the peeling skin off?

No, absolutely not. It is critical that you let the skin shed naturally. Pulling or picking at the peeling skin can lead to permanent scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Q: Is a chemical peel safe for dark skin tones?

Yes, but it requires extreme clinical expertise. Certain acids are highly safe and effective for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI), while others can risk hyperpigmentation. Dr. Darío will carefully select the appropriate acid blend for your specific skin type.

Q: What skin issues do chemical peels treat?

They are highly versatile and can treat fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, melasma, active acne, acne scarring, uneven skin tone, and rough texture.

Q: Can I wear makeup after a chemical peel?

For superficial peels, you can usually wear makeup the next day. However, for medium peels, we strongly advise against wearing makeup while the skin is actively peeling to prevent infection and allow the skin to heal properly.
