Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about RDS peel - Powered by Factor Five.

The RDS Peel addresses uneven texture, dullness, mild pigmentation, fine lines, and surface acne scarring. Customized strength lets clinicians treat a range of concerns while minimizing irritation; ideal for clients seeking noticeable renewal without aggressive downtime.

Downtime varies by intensity. Light treatments cause minimal redness and flaking for a few days; deeper protocols may lead to peeling and redness lasting up to one week. Your clinician will advise on expected recovery before treatment.

Treatment count depends on goals and skin condition. Many clients see improvement after a single session; optimal results often require a series of two to four treatments spaced several weeks apart, personalized during consultation.

Most clients experience mild tingling or warmth during application. Clinicians monitor comfort closely and can adjust strength or apply soothing agents. Any discomfort is brief, with post-treatment sensitivity managed through recommended aftercare.

Ideal candidates have mild to moderate sun damage, uneven texture, dullness, or early signs of aging. A consultation will review medical history and skin type; active infections, recent isotretinoin use, or certain conditions may preclude treatment.

Avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning beds, and exfoliating products for at least two weeks. Discontinue retinoids or harsh actives as instructed by your clinician. Arrive with clean skin and notify us of medications or recent procedures to ensure safe, effective treatment.
