Does it have to sting to be effective in peeling?

Strong stinging is not a measure of good results. You should consider the ingredients used, their concentration, application time, and the condition of your skin together. Rather than enduring discomfort during the procedure, it is better to notify the medical staff and check if it is within the expected reaction range.

Can home care exfoliation be continued?

Please show the acidic ingredients, retinoids, and scrub products you usually use. It is necessary to adjust so that the clinic treatment and home irritation do not overlap. Do not stop prescription medications on your own, and get guidelines from your provider on how to use them before and after peeling.

Can hollow scars also disappear with skin care?

The surface changes that feel smooth and the improvement of deep scar structures are different. The society’s scar materials also explain treatment by type. After care, it is best not to interpret photos where the skin looks brighter as evidence that the scar has fully recovered.

If dead skin flakes come off, can I pull it off with my hands?

Do not rub or peel forcefully, and follow the recommended moisturizing and protective methods. If severe pain, blisters, or discharge occurs, contact a medical institution. Do not set the next care date solely based on the calendar; decide after confirming that your skin has recovered.
