What is the first step in the trolley setup for a chemical peel?

The first step in the trolley setup for a chemical peel involves conducting a consultation to eliminate contraindications. This step is critical because it ensures that the client is a suitable candidate for the procedure. During the consultation, the aesthetician gathers essential information about the client's medical history, skin type, medications, and any conditions that could increase the risk of adverse reactions to the peel. Identifying contraindications before the treatment helps prevent complications and ensures the safety and efficacy of the procedure.

Establishing a thorough understanding of the client's needs and health status allows for a personalized approach to treatment, ensuring that the subsequent steps—such as applying protective measures or preparing the necessary solutions—are tailored appropriately. This foundational process lays the groundwork for a successful facial treatment, emphasizing the importance of assessment over immediate technical preparations or chemical applications.
