Sample input
A client contacted me 12 days after the first of three superficial brightening peels. She says nothing changed and wants a refund. Her goal was to soften post-breakout dark marks. I explained that the plan required a series and daily sun protection, but my booking page says brighter skin may be visible after one visit. The photos use different lighting and don't support a reliable comparison. She reports no pain, swelling, blistering, or worsening redness. She used sunscreen during the workweek, skipped it on weekends, and restarted an exfoliating serum after four days. My policy allows a free reassessment and limited credit but normally excludes refunds for completed services.
