Safety First
Prioritizing safety is non-negotiable when performing chemical peels. Start by conducting comprehensive client consultations, discussing their goals, expectations, and medical history. Patch tests should be performed on a small area of the skin to assess sensitivity and potential adverse reactions. Always follow manufacturer guidelines, and be prepared to adjust treatment parameters based on individual responses.
Types of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels come in varying strengths and depths, classified as superficial, medium, or deep peels. Each type targets specific skin concerns and requires different levels of downtime and aftercare. Familiarize yourself with the differences between these peels to ensure you're selecting the most suitable option for your clients' needs.
Customization is Key
No two clients are the same, and their skincare needs will vary. As an esthetic professional, your ability to customize chemical peel treatments based on individual skin types, concerns, and goals is paramount. Assess your clients' skin thoroughly, consider factors such as sensitivity and medical history, and select the appropriate type and strength of peel to achieve optimal results.
