What You Need to Know

Procedure Time

Your appointment lasts approximately 30 minutes. Your skin will be cleansed, the peel applied, and you'll leave our Leander spa with the solution on.

Side Effects & Recovery Times

Clients may experience a mild warming sensation or minor swelling. Unlike deeper peels, the Illuminize Peel does not cause visible peeling or require any downtime.

Results

Visible improvement is possible after just one treatment, with even more noticeable results building across a series of sessions.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Your provider will begin with a thorough skin cleansing to remove oils and prepare the surface for maximum penetration. A prepping solution is applied first, followed by the Illuminize Peel's unique blend of salicylic acid, mandelic acid, and acetone. The solution is left on for approximately 20 minutes before being removed. Afterward, your provider will guide you on care steps to maximize your results, including avoiding face washing for six to eight hours to allow the solution to continue working.
