Get answers to common questions about Glycolic Boost.

Glycolic Boost introduces a professional glycolic acid treatment during your facial to deeply exfoliate and stimulate cell turnover. It targets dullness, texture issues, and active acne while enhancing radiance. Concentrations and timing are customized by your esthetician for safe, effective results.

Yes, when properly customized. Your esthetician performs a skin assessment and may use a lower glycolic concentration or perform a patch test. Temporary redness or mild tingling can occur; severe sensitivity may contraindicate the service and alternative exfoliation options will be recommended.

Mild redness typically fades within 24–72 hours; light flaking or peeling can continue for three to seven days depending on concentration and skin sensitivity. Follow post-care: gentle cleanser, rich moisturizer, and strict SPF to support healing and prevent irritation or pigmentation.

Yes—by accelerating cell turnover and clearing clogged pores, Glycolic Boost can reduce surface congestion and improve active breakouts over time. It's most effective as part of a consistent treatment plan combined with proper home care; severe cystic acne may require medical dermatology intervention instead.

Frequency depends on skin type and concentration, but typically every two to four weeks is recommended for best results. A series of treatments (often four to six) delivers noticeable improvements; after results are achieved, monthly maintenance treatments help preserve radiance.

Yes—avoid direct sun and apply broad-spectrum SPF daily. Skip retinoids, strong acids, and physical exfoliants for at least 72 hours. Use gentle cleanser and hydrating moisturizer, and avoid heat treatments like saunas or intense workouts for 24–48 hours to minimize irritation and support healing.
