Get answers to common questions about Enzymes.

Enzymes break down keratin proteins that bind dead skin cells, gently dissolving the outer layer to promote exfoliation. This reveals smoother skin, improves texture, and supports fading of superficial scars and pigmentation when used in a proper treatment plan.

Most clients experience minimal irritation; enzymes are milder than aggressive acids. Temporary redness or light flaking can occur, but professional application and aftercare reduce reactions. We patch-test and customize strength for sensitive skin.

For surface texture and pigmentation improvement, treatments every 2–4 weeks are recommended. Your esthetician will assess skin condition and spacing; a tailored series followed by maintenance visits yields the most consistent, long-term improvement.

Yes—enzymes are commonly used as an add-on to facials, peels, or extractions. Your provider will evaluate timing and intensity to avoid over-exfoliation and recommend appropriate sequencing for optimal results and minimal irritation.

Often yes—enzymes can be a gentler exfoliation option. We perform consultations and patch tests to determine suitability and adjust enzyme strength. For active rosacea or severe inflammation, alternative approaches may be recommended.

Avoid sun exposure and use broad-spectrum SPF daily, skip active acids or retinoids for 48–72 hours, keep skin hydrated with gentle moisturizers, and contact us if you experience prolonged redness or irritation.
