Frosting: The answer is Yes and No. The frosting generally occurs with the deeper peels, not usually with GA or LA peels. The area that frosts is usually the area with the deepest damage and it means that the peel is getting down to the area we want to be affected for good results. That being said, the chemical peel is usually neutralized immediately to avoid further damage. Good post peel care essential.
