Clinician Uses "Too Much Acid" During Chemical Peel Believe it or not, most chemical peels are gentle -- that is, when carried out by a skilled and qualified technician. What happens when you undergo the procedure by a random staffer at a beauty clinic who's about to do it for the very first time? Turns out, some serious damage.
School teacher Mary Hope didn't realize she was getting an Obagi chemical peel by the hands of a novice. After shelling out some serious cash for the procedure, she was left with a beard of permanent scarring around her cheeks and chin which caused her to wear a plastic compression mask 24 hours a day for 18 months straight. The disaster did earn her £130,000 (about $172,000) in compensation, but in exchange she had to promise not to reveal the name of the company responsible.
