Get answers to common questions about Enzymes.

Enzymes are protein-based exfoliants that break down keratin in the stratum corneum, loosening dead skin cells. This gentle biochemical process smooths texture, promotes cell turnover, and improves tone without aggressive abrasion or deep chemical burns.

Yes. Enzymatic exfoliation is often milder than strong chemical peels and physical scrubs, making it suitable for many sensitive or acne-prone skins. Patch testing and professional customization ensure safe strength and minimal irritation based on your skin's tolerance.

Frequency depends on skin type and goals. Typically every two to four weeks is recommended for noticeable improvement, while sensitive skin may start monthly. Your esthetician will create a tailored plan and adjust frequency as skin responds.

Yes. By breaking down keratin and facilitating exfoliation, enzymes accelerate cell turnover, gradually fading superficial acne scars and uneven pigmentation. Multiple sessions combined with sun protection and complementary treatments yield best, longer-lasting results.

Most clients experience minimal to no downtime. Some may notice mild flaking or temporary redness as dead cells shed. Post-care with gentle moisturizers, sunscreen, and avoiding harsh products minimizes peeling and supports smooth recovery.

Often yes, but sequencing matters. Enzymes pair well as a gentle additive before masks or hydration boosters. Avoid combining with aggressive peels or microneedling the same day; your provider will recommend safe timing to prevent irritation.
