45 minutes for the face. Add 15 minutes when you include the chest.
$110 for the face (45 minutes) or $130 to include the chest (1 hour).
A good match for dry, dull or reactive skin, first-time peel clients, and anyone who wants brighter skin without committing to a stronger TCA peel.
True beauty is revealed not in hiding, but in the gentle unveiling. At Skin Lounge Med Spa, our Lactic Peeling in Boca Raton is that first, luminous step toward your most radiant self.
“Gentle chemistry, a trusted professional line and honest expectations.
Lactic acid exfoliates while also acting as a humectant that helps skin hold water, so it tends to feel kinder to dry skin than stronger acids.
We use Face Reality's lactic peel, a professional formula that blends L-lactic acid with specialty ingredients chosen to limit irritation and dehydration.
Sun, breakouts and dryness do not stop at the jawline, so the face and chest option covers the neckline too for $130.
What to expect, step by step
We ask what you use at home, especially retinoids and exfoliants, and check for irritation, sunburn or broken skin. First-timers get a quick rundown of how the tingle will feel.
Your face, plus your chest if booked, is cleansed and prepped so the lactic solution spreads evenly. A protective balm may go on the creases beside the nose and mouth.
Your esthetician applies the lactic formula and watches your skin closely, timing each step to how it responds. Expect mild warmth or itching that settles within minutes.
We finish with hydration and SPF. Skin usually looks fresh and a little pink, and any mild flaking tends to show up two to four days later.
Compare the lactic peel options with the next step up.
Face only, 45 minutes. The best starting point if you have never had a professional peel.
Adds the chest in a one-hour visit, useful for a sun-exposed neckline with dryness or rough texture.
The next step once your skin tolerates lactic peels well and you want more visible change in texture. Learn about BioRePeel.
On its own visit, dermaplaning removes peach fuzz and buildup so skin looks extra smooth between lactic peels.
Papaya and pineapple enzymes with a botanically derived glycolic acid give a lighter exfoliation day for weeks when your skin needs less.

Why lactic peels suit Boca Raton routines
Chlorine in the pool, salt at the beach and air conditioning all day can leave Boca Raton skin tight, dull and flaky at the same time. A lactic peel lifts that dull layer while leaning toward hydration, which is why it is a favorite for snowbirds arriving from dry northern winters and for locals who swim most mornings. Just plan pool and beach days a few days after your peel, not the same afternoon.
More ways to keep skin bright and even.
The lactic peel is the gentlest option on our chemical peels menu. If dark spots are your main goal, visit our hyperpigmentation page, and for breakouts, compare it with the Face Reality acne peel.
It loosens the dull, dead cells on the surface so fresher skin shows through, which can leave your complexion brighter, smoother and more even-looking. Lactic acid also draws water into the skin, so it tends to feel less drying than many other acids.
Often, yes. Lactic acid has a larger molecule than glycolic acid, so it penetrates more gradually and is usually better tolerated by dry or reactive skin. Glycolic acid can give a stronger effect but is more likely to sting.
You might see light flaking, usually around the nose and mouth, starting two to four days after. Many people see no flaking at all and still get a brighter result. Do not pick; moisturize and let it shed on its own.
Most people book a lactic peel every two to four weeks during an active series, then monthly or seasonally for upkeep. Your esthetician will space sessions based on how your skin handled the last one.
Yes. It is the gentlest peel we offer, which makes it a comfortable way to learn how your skin reacts before moving on to BioRePeel or PRX-T33.
It can help surface discoloration look more even over a series, since regular exfoliation brightens dull, uneven skin. Results depend heavily on daily sunscreen. Deeper pigment such as melasma is more stubborn, and a dermatologist should confirm what you are dealing with.
In Florida the chest gets nearly as much sun as the face but rarely gets the same care, so it often shows dryness, texture and uneven tone first. The face and chest peel ($130) covers both in one hour so skin looks consistent above and below the neckline.
Pause retinol, prescription retinoids and other exfoliating acids for several days before your peel and until your skin feels calm afterward. A gentle cleanser, moisturizer and SPF are all you need during that window.
Face Reality designs this formula to be gentle enough for many sensitive and redness-prone skin types. If you have diagnosed rosacea or eczema, check with your dermatologist first, and tell us if you are in a flare so we can reschedule.
Lactic acid is often considered one of the milder acids, but any professional peel during pregnancy should be cleared by your OB first. If your doctor prefers you skip peels for now, our Mother-to-Be Glow Ritual is designed as a pregnancy-safe facial.
