How can I be sure to receive the right peel for my skin type?
Many things factor into the type of peel a client can receive or should receive for their particular skin type. Not all peels should be treated on all skin types. For instance, many people receive peels from inexperienced hands trying the latest and greatest peel on the market, neither who realize the consequence and damage that can occur months after a peel. A serious skin consultation needs to be done in person with particular consideration for all life-style activities a clients makes on a daily basis.
