Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Keratosis Pilaris Arms.

Keratosis Pilaris results from keratin plugging hair follicles, leading to rough, bumpy upper arms. Genetics, dry skin and seasonal changes contribute. Our approach targets plugs with professional exfoliation and ongoing homecare to soften and clear follicles over time.

Most clients see noticeable improvement after three to six sessions, spaced weeks apart. Your technician will assess severity and recommend a personalized plan combining in-office exfoliation and at-home treatments for optimal, gradual reduction.

Treatments are generally comfortable; clients may experience mild redness or tingling that fades within hours to a day. There is minimal downtime, allowing normal activities. We use gentle protocols and post-care instructions to minimize irritation and support healing.

You may notice softer skin after the first session, with progressive reduction in bumps over several weeks. Full benefits often require multiple treatments plus consistent homecare to maintain improvements long-term.

We recommend a routine of gentle chemical exfoliants (like lactic or glycolic acid), moisturizing creams containing urea or ceramides, and non-abrasive cleansing. Home products complement in-office exfoliation to prevent follicle re-blocking and improve texture.

Keratosis Pilaris is chronic and may not be permanently cured, but consistent professional treatments and tailored homecare can achieve long-lasting, significant reduction in appearance and texture, often requiring maintenance sessions to sustain results.
