Will any of the treatments hurt?
There may be some activity with some of the treatments and enhancements but these are closely monitored as your skin integrity is crucial.

Chemical peels will not be done to first time clients - to ensure the integrity of your skin we need to have worked on your skin previously before completing a chemical peel protocol.

It's a form of physical exfoliation where a surgical blade is used to remove dead skin cells, debris and dirt sitting on the skin. It can also remove some peach fuzz or vellus hair.

Please know though that customization decisions are made by the skin therapist and based on the current condition and health of your skin.
