After receiving a a PCA Skin professional treatment, you should not necessarily expect to "peel", light flaking light flaking in a few localized areas and residual redness for approximately 1-12 hours is typical.
It is recommended that make up is not applied post treatment and left overnight to stabilize, however it can be applied after 15 minutes if necessary.
