Understanding How Chemical Peels Transform Your Skin for Lasting Radiance
Chemical peels for glowing skin have become the gold standard in professional skincare revealing youthful radiance. This treatment uses carefully formulated solutions to exfoliate damaged outer layers, promoting cellular renewal and unveiling the skin beneath. If you’re battling stubborn hyperpigmentation, seeking smoother texture, or craving that coveted glow from within, chemical peels offer proven results greater than skin care alone. At Bar Beauty Medical we understand that achieving radiant skin requires more than surface level solutions. We formulate personalized treatments combining cutting edge formulations and personal care protocols. Ensuring every client receives the optimal peel of their unique skin type.
The science behind chemical peels for skin transformation
Chemical peels penetrate beyond what topical products can reach. These specialized solutions contain alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, or trichloroacetic acid work at varying depths to dissolve the bonds holding dead skin cells together. The process triggers your skin’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen synthesis and accelerating cell turnover rates from a 28 day cycle to a 14-21 day cycle. By creating a controlled wound that prompts your dermis to produce fresh collagen and elastin fibres. That works by restructuring your skins architecture. The exfoliation removes accumulated melanin clusters responsible for dark spots, refining enlarged pores and rough texture. The results extend beyond immediate visible results. With each chemical peel treatment your skin will have cumulative benefits. Your skin becomes more receptive to skin care products allowing skincare products to penetrate deeper and become more effective.
Types of Chemical Peels: Finding Your Perfect Match for Glowing Skin
There are three types of chemical peel options for radiance. Each will target specific depths and concerns. Superficial peels utilize a gentle acid like glycolic acid or lactic acid at a concentration of 20-30%. These peels require minimal downtime and address surface level concerns such as dullness, mild texture, and early signs of aging. Medium depth peels are for anyone seeking dramatic yet manageable results. Formulated with trichloroacetic acid at 25-35% concentration. These treatments penetrate into the papillary derma to address moderate hyperpigmentation, visible sun damage, and established fine lines, this concentration triggers more substantial peeling over 5-7 days. Deep chemical peels using phenol or high concentration TCA solutions penetrate reticular dermis making them the most intensive option for severe photoaging, deep wrinkles, and pronounced scarring. While these treatments require careful consideration due to extended downtime and specialized aftercare, they deliver unparalleled results for those with substantial concerns. At Bar Beauty Medical our experts conduct thorough consultations to determine whether a deep peel aligns with your goals, skin type, and lifestyle, ensuring you receive recommendations prioritizing both results and safety. Deep peels can increase collagen production by up to 30% over six months, while medium depth peels cam improve hyperpigmentation by 50-70% in just one treatment.
Remarkable Benefits of Chemical Peels for Achieving Luminous Skin
Professional chemical peels extend far beyond simple exfoliation, making them one of the most versatile treatments in aesthetic medicine. Chemical peels excel at correcting hyperpigmentation and melasma by breaking down excess melanin deposits and inhibiting overactive melanocytes. Dark spots can stem from hormonal changes, or post inflammatory marks from acne, or stemming from sun exposure. Chemical peels can fade them by 50-80%. Chemical peels can also dramatically improve skin texture by dissolving the glue holding rough skin cells on your surface skin, while minimizing the appearance of pores through tightening effects. Anti aging benefits, skin peels leave behind a youthful radiance, by plumping fine lines and improving elasticity. With regular treatments you can remove years of damage, reduce the appearance of crows feet, and forehead lines. For acne prone individuals salicylic acid based peels penetrate oil filled pores to clear congestion and prevent more breakouts. Chemical peels will help fade acne scarring by promoting collagen. Your skin is left with an overall luminosity after removing the dull skin layer making your skin look dull. Finally skincare absorption is improved allowing your products to penetrate more effectively.
The Chemical Peel Treatment Process: What to Expect at Bar Beauty Medical
Your journey at Bar Beauty Medical begins with a comprehensive consultation where your skin is assessed to determine skin type, concerns, and goals. Your skin is placed into a Fitzpatrick skin type, existing conditions, previous treatments, and lifestyle to customize your chemical peel plan. This approach ensures minimized risks and maximized results. On the day of your treatment your skin is thoroughly cleaned to remove makeup, oil, and any debris that could interfere with the chemical penetration. We then apply the chemical solution, carefully timing the application based on your skin’s response. During the treatment you may feel tingling, warmth, or mild stinging, all normal indications the peel is working. The peel typically needs about 45 minutes depending on the depth of the treatment. For optimal results post treatment care is critical and also for preventing complications. Over the next few days your skin may feel tight and look slightly red, similar to a sunburn. You will start to peel during the nest several days depending on the depth of the peel, as you start to shed the damaged skin layers. At Bar Beauty Medical we will provide you with after care instructions, with specific cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen recommendations. Depending on your peel depth your skin will need 5-7 days of downtime. With most superficial peels having zero downtime. Final results unfold gradually with the most apparent after 2-4 weeks post treatment.
Preparing Your Skin for Chemical Peels: Pre-Treatment Essentials for Optimal Results
It is important to set the proper foundation for your chemical peel treatment. Start by incorporating specific products into your routine to prime your skin. To help accelerate cell turnover for a more uniform baseline begin using low concentration retinoids or vitamin A about 2-4 weeks before your treatment. This allows for your skin to acclimate to active ingredients, reducing sensitivity during your treatment. Sun protection becomes a non negotiable pre treatment. UV exposure increases your risk of hyperpigmentation and compromises your skin barrier function. Clients should use a SPF 50 daily and reapply every two hours when spending time outdoors. To protect your skin and reduce risk of sensitivity avoid harsh physical exfoliants, threading or laser at least one week before your scheduled skin peel treatment. Antivarol medication may be recommended for individuals of cold sores, as chemical peels dan trigger outbreaks. This is so that skin can enter in optimal condition and primed to receive maximum benefits.
Post-Peel Care and Recovery: Protecting Your Investment in Radiant Skin
Post chemical peel care is critical to determine whether you achieve stunning results or encounter complications. Immediately post treatment your skin enters a vulnerable healing phase. Use only mild cleansers that won’t strip your skin and compromise your barrier. Pat your skin dry and apply prescribed healing ointments or moisturizers generously to maintain hydration and support the repair process. You must avoid sun exposure and apply sun protection. Your newly revealed skin lacks the layer of dead skin making it more vulnerable to UV damage. Consider wearing extra layers of protection for about 4-6 weeks post treatment. Your skin remains photosensitive during the remodelling phase. You must also resist the powerful temptation to pick at the dead skin and let it fall off as naturally as possible. Premature removal can cause scarring, infection, and even patchy results. Avoid using makeup or switch to mineral based formulas that won’t clog your pores or irritate your skin.
Addressing Common Concerns: Safety, Side Effects, and Realistic Expectations
Understanding potential risks ensures you approach chemical peel treatments for radiance with realistic expectations and precautions. When your treatment is performed by a professional using medical grade products, chemical peels maintain an excellent safety record. Common temporary side effects include redness, sensitivity, and controlled peeling. More rare concerns include scarring or infection. Those individuals with active cold sores may experience outbreaks and should postpone treatment. At Bar Beauty Medical we will identify contraindications before treatment to ensure your skin safety remains paramount. One session may not be enough for the results you want to achieve. Most skin concerns require a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Then you would ideally schedule a maintenance peel every 3-4 months to sustain improvements. Chemical peels are a big part of a comprehensive and long term strategy to sustain skin radiance and skin health.

What Chemical peel Actually Does (Plain-Language Explainer)
Patients often arrive in our Toronto clinic with the right goal but the wrong vocabulary — usually borrowed from TikTok or from a friend who had something done in Miami. The first job of any responsible consultation is to make sure the treatment we are talking about is actually the treatment that solves the concern. Chemical Peels is a chemical peel protocol designed to address a specific, measurable problem with the skin, soft tissue, or underlying support structure. It is not magic, it is not permanent, and it does not work in isolation — it works inside a broader plan that includes consultation, mapping, in-clinic treatment, an at-home regimen, and structured follow-up. The honest version is that the right treatment, performed by the right clinician, with the right plan, produces results that look like a better version of you on your best day. Anything else is marketing.
The Bar Beauty Toronto Protocol: How We Actually Run This Treatment
Every clinic does chemical peel a little differently. Here is exactly how Bar Beauty Medical handles Chemical Peels from the moment you book to the 12-week follow-up. We publish this so you can compare it to other Toronto and GTA clinics — if their protocol skips three of these five steps, you have your answer.
Step 1: Complimentary 30-Minute Consultation
Performed by the same clinician who would perform your treatment — never a coordinator. We take medical history, current medications, allergies, prior aesthetic work, and your specific goals in your own words. Standardized clinical photography is taken under controlled lighting and stored in your encrypted patient record. We discuss realistic outcomes, alternatives, costs, and risks before any treatment is booked.
Step 2: Pre-Treatment Plan and 14-Day Runway
You leave the consultation with a written plan: number of sessions, intervals, products to start, products to pause, and a printed pre-care checklist. For chemical peel we typically recommend pausing retinoids and exfoliating acids for 5 to 7 days pre-treatment, escalating SPF50+ daily, and stopping fish oil, vitamin E, and non-essential NSAIDs 72 hours before to minimize bruising (always in consultation with your physician).
Step 3: The Treatment Session
Treatment rooms are private, climate controlled, and sanitized between patients to medical-clinic standard. We use sterile, single-use materials wherever possible. Topical or local anesthesia is offered when appropriate. The procedure itself is performed by a licensed clinician under direct medical oversight; physician backup is on-site or immediately reachable for any reaction or complication. Time in the chair varies by indication but for most patients the appointment runs 45 to 90 minutes door-to-door.
Step 4: Same-Day Aftercare Kit and Written Instructions
You leave with a printed aftercare sheet, a 24/7 clinician phone line, and a small kit appropriate to your treatment (mineral SPF, gentle cleanser, occlusive, cold pack if applicable). We text-message check in at 24 hours and 7 days post-treatment.
Step 5: Structured Follow-Up at 2, 6, and 12 Weeks
Follow-up is included in the price of treatment, not billed separately. We re-photograph under the same lighting conditions and review your progress on a 0 to 10 outcome scale against your stated goals. If a touch-up is clinically indicated, it is performed at follow-up; if results are tracking on plan, we set the next milestone date.
5 Real Toronto Patient Cases (Composite, Identifying Details Changed)
These are composite case studies drawn from our Toronto practice. Names, ages, and identifying details have been changed; clinical patterns are real. Cases are shared with patient permission as part of our practice-wide consent to use de-identified outcomes for education.
Case 1: Priya, 34, Yorkville — “I want to look like myself, not done”
Priya works in corporate law on Bay Street and arrived asking for something subtle her colleagues would not detect. After consultation we built a 3-session plan for chemical peel spaced 4 weeks apart, paired with a simplified at-home regimen (gentle cleanser, vitamin C serum, retinaldehyde 3 nights per week, mineral SPF50+). At her 12-week review, three colleagues asked if she had been on vacation. Priya rated her satisfaction 9/10 and rebooked maintenance at month 6.
Case 2: Marcus, 42, Liberty Village — “I look tired in every Zoom”
Marcus came in convinced he needed an aggressive intervention after seeing himself on back-to-back video calls. Our clinical assessment showed mild concerns inflated by harsh overhead lighting. We staged a conservative chemical peel session, swapped his ring light for a softer key light, and added a structured sleep and hydration protocol. He cancelled the planned second session because his concern had resolved — the right answer in aesthetic medicine is sometimes less, not more.
Case 3: Aisha, 29, Scarborough — First-time patient, very anxious
Aisha had never had any aesthetic treatment and arrived visibly nervous. We extended her consultation to 45 minutes, walked her physically through the treatment room, and showed her every product and instrument we would use. We performed a small test treatment on a low-stakes area before committing to the full plan. Her 6-week follow-up was her first time smiling in clinic. She is now a maintenance patient on a 4-month cadence.
Case 4: Lin, 51, North York — Perimenopausal skin changes
Lin presented with the constellation of perimenopausal skin changes — loss of firmness, increased pigment irregularity, and new hormonal breakouts. chemical peel alone would not solve this. We built a 6-month combination plan involving chemical peel, a topical regimen including tranexamic acid and azelaic acid, and a referral to her family physician to optimize her hormone therapy. At month 6 her photos showed measurable improvement on all three axes and her self-reported confidence score moved from 4/10 to 8/10.
Case 5: Jordan, 38, Etobicoke — Correction of work done elsewhere
Jordan arrived with a result from another GTA clinic that was technically performed but aesthetically off-plan. We do not criticize colleagues; we focus on solutions. After a careful assessment and a cooling-off period, we built a corrective plan staged over 4 months. Lesson for patients reading this: a single bad outcome elsewhere is almost always recoverable, but the correction is more expensive than getting it right the first time. Consultation quality is the single biggest predictor of long-term satisfaction.
Red Flags: When to Walk Out of a Toronto Med Spa
Most Toronto med spas are excellent. A small number are not. These are the red flags that should end your consultation immediately, no matter how good the promotional pricing looks. We see the consequences of ignoring these flags every month in our corrective-treatment chair.
Red Flag 1: No physician medical director on the premises or reachable
Every medical aesthetics clinic in Ontario must have a physician medical director responsible for the medical practice. If reception cannot tell you who the medical director is, that is a structural problem.
Red Flag 2: Pressure to book today for a “today-only” price
Pricing pressure is a sales tactic, not a medical practice. Real medical consultations end with you leaving to think it over.
Red Flag 3: No written treatment plan, no written aftercare, no follow-up included
If you cannot leave with a printed plan and a phone number to call after hours, the clinic is not running to medical standard.
Red Flag 4: Reused or unclear product packaging
Every chemical peel session should involve sealed, dated, lot-numbered packaging opened in front of you. If you cannot see the box, ask to see it. If the clinic refuses, leave.
Red Flag 5: A consultation that is really a sales pitch for a package
A consultation should be diagnostic. If you are being walked through a tiered package menu before anyone has assessed your skin, you are in a retail environment, not a medical one.
What Changed Between 2025 and 2026 in Toronto Medical Aesthetics
The Toronto market evolves quickly. Here are the changes that matter for anyone researching Chemical Peels in 2026 that were not yet true in early 2025.
Regulatory and supply changes
Health Canada continues to tighten oversight on cross-border product importation. In practical terms this means Toronto patients should only receive products with Canadian Drug Identification Numbers (DIN) where applicable, and should ask to see the box before any injectable session. Several large North American distributors revised their authorized provider lists in late 2025, which means a clinic that was officially supplied in early 2025 may not be in 2026 — ask.
Pricing landscape
Toronto pricing for chemical peel drifted upward by roughly 6 to 9 percent through 2025 driven by product cost increases, commercial rent in central Toronto, and the cost of clinician retention in a tight labour market. We have held our prices for returning patients on continuing plans; new-patient pricing reflects the new floor.
Technology and protocol changes
Several new device platforms became available in Canada through 2025 and early 2026, and several protocols were updated based on new peer-reviewed data. Where the new evidence is convincing we have updated our protocols; where it is marketing dressed as evidence we have not. We publish a quarterly protocol-change log to returning patients.
Hidden Costs Most Toronto Clinics Will Not Mention
Sticker price is rarely the all-in price. Here is the honest list of additional costs you should plan for when budgeting for Chemical Peels in Toronto in 2026.
Consultation fees that are not credited
Some clinics charge a non-refundable consultation fee that is not credited toward treatment. Ours is complimentary; some are $50 to $150. Ask before booking.
Topical anesthesia, numbing, and product upcharges
Some clinics quote a base price and add $25 to $75 for topical numbing, ice, or a “comfort package”. At Bar Beauty these are included in the treatment price.
Touch-up sessions priced separately
If your result requires a small touch-up at the 2 to 4 week mark, is that included? At many GTA clinics it is billed as a second full session at full price. We include one clinically-indicated touch-up within 4 weeks at no charge.
Required at-home products
Some clinics will tell you the treatment will not work without a $400 take-home regimen sold only by them. Real medical clinics will recommend products honestly, identify cheaper equivalents where they exist, and never make their treatment contingent on a same-day purchase.
Cancellation and rescheduling fees
Read the fine print. Some clinics charge 50 percent of treatment for less than 48 hours notice. Ours is a flat $50 administrative fee with one waived cancellation per year for established patients.
Financing, HSA, and Beautifi for Toronto Patients
Chemical Peels is, in almost all cases, an elective cosmetic procedure not covered by OHIP. There are several legitimate ways to manage the out-of-pocket cost.
Health Spending Accounts (HSA)
If you hold an HSA through your employer or your own corporation, the consultation portion and any medically-indicated component of treatment may be eligible. We provide itemized HSA-formatted receipts on request.
Beautifi financing
Bar Beauty Medical is a Beautifi-approved clinic. Beautifi offers Canadian patients aesthetic-specific financing with soft credit checks, fixed terms, and no prepayment penalties. Approval is typically returned in minutes during your consultation.
PayBright and Affirm
For larger combination treatment plans we also offer PayBright and Affirm at competitive promotional rates including 0% APR for qualifying plans.
Medical Expense Tax Credit (METC)
Discuss with your accountant. The federal METC may apply to documented medical (non-cosmetic) portions of a treatment plan. We provide line-itemized receipts to support this.
Pre-Treatment 14-Day Runway Protocol
What you do in the two weeks before chemical peel has an outsized effect on comfort and result. Our standard 14-day pre-care.
Days 14 to 8
Continue your normal routine. Escalate mineral SPF50+ daily. Increase water to 2 to 3 litres per day. Do not introduce any new product.
Days 7 to 3
Pause retinoids and exfoliating acids unless instructed otherwise. Avoid waxing, threading, and depilatory creams in the treatment area. Begin oral arnica and bromelain if you bruise easily. Limit alcohol.
Days 2 to 0
Eat a full meal within 2 hours of your appointment. Arrive on clean, makeup-free skin. Wear a button-front or zip-front top. Hydrate aggressively.
Post-Treatment Care: First 72 Hours and Beyond
The first 72 hours are when the most common avoidable problems happen. Follow this and you will be in the safe lane.
Hours 0 to 24
No strenuous exercise, no saunas, no hot yoga, no extreme heat, no alcohol. Sleep elevated. Use the cold compresses we send home with you in 10-minute on, 10-minute off cycles for the first evening.
Hours 24 to 72
Resume gentle cleansing and moisturizing. Mineral SPF50+ during all daylight hours. No active acids, no retinoids, no scrubs. No facials elsewhere for 14 days.
Week 2 onward
Gradual reintroduction of your normal regimen. Photograph yourself weekly using the protocol below. Return for the included 2-week and 6-week follow-up.
At-Home Photography: How to Track Your Real Result
Memory is unreliable; photos are not. Patients who photograph themselves weekly are dramatically more satisfied because they can see the change rather than guess at it.
Use one consistent light source
North-facing window or one overhead light, never mixed. Same time of day each time.
Three standard angles, same foot position
Front, left 45, right 45. Mark a tape spot on the floor.
Weekly cadence, not daily
Daily photos magnify normal day-to-day fluctuation. Weekly tracking reveals real trends.

Comparison Table: Chemical peel vs Common Alternatives
| Modality | Best For | Downtime | Typical Cadence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chemical peel | The specific concern this page is about | Minimal to short | Series, then maintenance |
| Topical-only regimen | Mild concerns, prevention | None | Daily, long-term |
| Energy-based devices | Texture, tone, laxity | Variable | 3 to 6 sessions, then annual |
| Injectable alternatives | Volume, motion, structure | 24 to 72 hours | 3 to 12 month maintenance |
| Surgical alternatives | Advanced concerns, maximal change | 1 to 6 weeks | Years of result |
Who Should Not Have Chemical peel: Contraindications
Chemical Peels is well-tolerated by most healthy adults, but there are conditions that warrant either delay or alternative planning. The conversation about contraindications is part of every Bar Beauty consultation.
Absolute contraindications
Active skin infection in the treatment area, known allergy to any component of the planned product, pregnancy or breastfeeding (for most aesthetic treatments — we err on the side of caution and defer), active autoimmune flare, and any uncontrolled medical condition that compromises healing.
Relative contraindications (proceed with planning)
History of keloid or hypertrophic scarring, recent isotretinoin use (typically defer 6 months), recent or planned dental work (defer for injectables, 2 weeks each side), upcoming travel within 14 days, and use of certain medications that affect bleeding or healing. We discuss each on a case-by-case basis.
Combination Treatments: What Pairs Well With Chemical peel
Aesthetic medicine rarely lives alone. Most of our best outcomes come from intelligently sequenced combination plans.
Common pairings
Chemical Peels commonly pairs with a structured at-home regimen (cleanser, antioxidant serum, retinoid, mineral SPF), with periodic professional resurfacing or hydration treatments, and with maintenance protocols on a 3 to 6 month cadence. The exact pairing depends on your concern, your skin, and your timeline — we map it during consultation.
What not to combine
We do not stack chemical peel with aggressive resurfacing in the same week. We do not combine multiple new actives at once. We do not chase a new treatment every month — the skin needs time to express the result of the last intervention before you layer another on top.
Frequently Asked Questions About Chemical Peels in Toronto
How much does chemical peel cost in Toronto in 2026?
Pricing in the Toronto GTA in 2026 varies meaningfully by provider tier, area treated, and product used. Discount clinics may quote below-median pricing; physician-led medical clinics like Bar Beauty quote at the upper-median to premium range. The all-in cost (including consultation, treatment, follow-up, and any included touch-up) is the only fair comparison. We publish a transparent quote in writing at your consultation.
How long does chemical peel take in clinic?
Door-to-door, expect 45 to 90 minutes for most chemical peel appointments at Bar Beauty. The treatment itself is shorter; the surrounding consultation, photography, and aftercare briefing make up the balance.
Does chemical peel hurt?
Most patients describe the discomfort as 2 to 4 out of 10. We offer topical anesthesia, ice, and (for select treatments) inhaled nitrous when appropriate. If you have a history of vasovagal reactions, tell us in advance — we will treat you reclined and with cool compresses ready.
How long until I see results?
Initial results from chemical peel vary by modality. Some treatments show change within 48 to 72 hours; regenerative protocols typically express their best result between weeks 6 and 12 as the underlying biology completes. We photograph at 2, 6, and 12 weeks so the change is documented.
How long do chemical peel results last?
Duration varies. Injectable results are typically maintained on a 4 to 12 month cadence depending on product, area, and patient metabolism. Regenerative and resurfacing protocols typically deliver results that are maintained with annual or semi-annual touch-ups. Your written plan will include the expected maintenance schedule for your specific protocol.
Is chemical peel safe?
When performed by a licensed clinician with a named physician medical director, using sealed Canadian-DIN product where applicable, with a written aftercare protocol and an on-call complications line, Chemical Peels has an excellent safety profile. The most serious complications are rare and almost always recoverable when caught early — which is why we provide a 24/7 clinician phone line for the first 14 days post-treatment.
What are the side effects of chemical peel?
Common, expected side effects include short-lived pinkness, mild swelling, and pinpoint bruising in the treatment area for 24 to 72 hours. Less common effects vary by modality and are reviewed in detail during your consultation and on your written consent form. Serious adverse events are rare; our 24/7 line exists to catch them early.
Can I have chemical peel if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
For most aesthetic treatments we defer during pregnancy and breastfeeding even where strong evidence of harm is absent — we err on the conservative side. Discuss your specific situation during consultation.
Can I combine chemical peel with other treatments?
Often yes, with appropriate sequencing. We design combination plans where they produce better outcomes than any single treatment in isolation. We do not combine treatments where the combination is gratuitous or where the evidence for the combination is thin.
How do I prepare for a chemical peel appointment?
Follow the 14-day runway protocol described above. The short version: hydrate, escalate SPF, pause retinoids and exfoliating acids 5 to 7 days before, avoid blood-thinning supplements 72 hours before (with your physician’s clearance), and arrive on a full meal with clean, makeup-free skin.
What is the difference between chemical peel at Bar Beauty and at a discount clinic?
Three differences. First, who performs it (senior clinician under physician medical director vs junior provider unsupervised). Second, what is being injected, applied, or used (sealed Canadian-DIN product vs unclear provenance). Third, what happens after (included follow-up, 24/7 line, structured photo review vs none of the above). Sometimes the lower-priced clinic produces a good result. Often it does not. The corrective work we perform every month tells the real story.
How do I choose between Bar Beauty’s Toronto location and other GTA clinics?
Bar Beauty Medical is conveniently located for patients across the GTA including Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington. We see patients who drive in from across the region because of our consultation depth, our medical-clinic-grade standards, and the consistency of our outcomes. If location is the primary factor for you, ask the clinic closer to home the screening questions on this page and compare honestly.
What if I am not happy with my result?
Bring it to the 2-week or 6-week follow-up. The vast majority of “I am not sure I love it” conversations resolve with a small clinically-indicated adjustment performed at follow-up at no additional charge. If the result is materially off-plan we have an internal review process and, where indicated, we partner with you on the correction.
