Get answers to common questions about Obagi Brilliance Triple Acid Peel.

Most clients experience mild redness and flaking for 3–7 days; peeling peaks around days 2–5. Expect minimal downtime, but avoid sun exposure, use gentle skincare, and follow aftercare to ensure proper healing and best results.

Most patients report a brief burning or tingling sensation during application, which is manageable and short-lived. Topical numbing can be used if needed. Our clinicians monitor comfort closely and adjust strength to ensure safety and tolerability.

Treatment plans vary; many clients see noticeable improvement after a single session, while optimal results for pigmentation and texture may require a series of 3–6 treatments spaced four weeks apart. A consultation will determine the right protocol.

Ideal candidates have dull, photoaged, or uneven skin seeking brighter tone and reduced fine lines. Not suitable for active skin infections, recent isotretinoin use, or certain skin types—consultation and patch testing ensure safe candidacy.

Gentle cleansing, intense sun protection, and hydrating products are critical. Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and direct sun for at least one week. We'll provide an aftercare kit and instructions to promote healing and protect results.

Results are long-lasting with proper skincare and sun protection. Maintenance treatments and topical regimens, like prescribed Obagi products, extend benefits. Skin will continue aging naturally, so periodic touch-ups help sustain brightness and texture improvements.
