Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a technique that involves the application of a peel solution on the skin which causes it to exfoliate and improve the texture of the skin. Constant friction and regular waxing of bikini hair can lead to recurrent episodes of folliculitis and pigmentation of the bikini area.
