How it is done
The clinic describes three steps: (1) water-soluble 13% AHA (lactic acid) is applied to the whole face for exfoliation and light pore cleansing (suction), (2) oil-soluble 5% BHA (salicylic acid) is used to focus on clearing waste from pores (sebum, blackheads), and (3) the treatment finishes with moisture and nutrients using hydrogel ingredients and others. The clinic says Aqua Peel is used for exfoliation and hydration, blackhead and sebum removal, and acne care.
Recovery timeline
The clinic states that redness after the procedure does not last long. However, how long redness or stinging lasts varies with skin condition.
