Misconception #1: Chemical peels are only suitable for individuals with problematic skin.

Fact:

Chemical peels are effective for both addressing skin imperfections and maintaining healthy skin.

Misconception #2: Laser Hair Removal is ineffective for specific skin tones, colors, or hair shades.

Fact:
