Chemical Peel AND laser treatment during the SAME visit?

katiekatiepiMar 25, 2024
I recently bought a laser hair removal package for my chin. I also bought a package for chemical peels (for my face). I have always known that these two treatments should NOT occur at the same appointment. However, this aesthetician insists that I can get laser hair removal on my chin immediately before a chemical peel in the same sitting. I have been booked for both on 4/22/24. Doctors, has something changed? What can I do if she continues to push both procedures in the same day?
