It is done in four to five sessions at one to two week intervals, then maintained monthly. Tone brightens over two to four weeks, because two things work together: dead skin lifts to reveal the brighter layer beneath, and the rate of pigment formation slows. Maintaining it requires repetition.

Downtime is mild at one to three days, and redness can last two to three days because the surface is briefly sensitised while dead skin is cleared. It is on the gentle side, but the blend differs by clinic, so check the concentration and ingredients, and sun protection is essential.

GA peel focuses on dissolving dead skin. Pink Peel adds brightening ingredients to that clearing, so it covers pigment as well and handles two goals at once. If clearing dead skin is all you need, choose GA peel; if tone is also on your mind, Pink Peel.
