What is a Toskani chemical peel?
A Toskani chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses a blend of active acids to exfoliate the outer layers of skin. It helps improve texture, tone, breakouts, pigmentation, and signs of ageing. Toskani offers a range of peels that can be customised to suit different skin types and concerns.
What skin concerns does it treat?
Toskani peels can help with:
- Acne and congestion
- Pigmentation and sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Enlarged pores
- Rough skin texture
Is the treatment painful?
You may feel a tingling, warming or mild stinging sensation during the peel, but it’s generally well tolerated. The feeling usually lasts only a few minutes and is monitored closely by your practitioner.
Will my skin peel after the treatment?
Some clients experience light flaking or mild peeling a few days after, especially with stronger peels. Others may not visibly peel at all—but the skin is still renewing beneath the surface. Peeling is not required for the treatment to be effective.
How long is the downtime?
Downtime is usually minimal. You may have slight redness or tightness for 1–2 days. Flaking (if any) tends to start around Day 2–3 and lasts a few days. Most clients return to normal activities right after the treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
While you may notice improvements after one peel, we usually recommend a course of 3–6 treatments, spaced 2–4 weeks apart, for best results. Maintenance treatments every few months may follow.
Can I wear makeup after the peel?
It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 12–24 hours post-treatment to allow your skin to breathe and recover. If you need coverage, opt for a non-comedogenic mineral-based product.
Is it safe for sensitive skin or darker skin types?
Yes. Toskani offers peels that are safe for sensitive and Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI when applied by a trained professional. A thorough consultation ensures the right peel is chosen for your skin.
What should I avoid after the peel?
For 3–5 days post-treatment, avoid:
- Exfoliants and active skincare (e.g. retinol, AHAs, BHAs)
- Sun exposure and heat (saunas, workouts)
- Facial waxing or harsh treatments
- Picking or scrubbing your skin
When will I see results?
Many clients see a healthy glow within a few days. Full results—like smoother texture, reduced breakouts, or fading pigmentation—develop progressively over a few weeks and with repeated treatments.
