Why can’t I receive a chemical peel on my first visit?We prioritize your skin's health and safety, and it's essential to perform a thorough skin analysis before administering a chemical peel. During your first visit, we need to understand your skin type, sensitivity, and any underlying conditions. This initial assessment helps us determine the most appropriate peel and ensures that your skin is adequately prepared. Jumping straight into a chemical peel without this assessment could lead to adverse reactions or less effective results. Therefore, we recommend starting with a comprehensive evaluation and possibly a more gentle treatment to prepare your skin for future peels.
