How should I prepare for a chemical peel?

May 25, 2015
Asked By:lubdup2015 in Saint Louis, MO

What should I do or not do before a chemical peel? I'm having a Melanage Peel on Thursday and am tempted to get my face threaded beforehand. Are there things people shouldn't do to their face before a chemical peel?
