Skin Deep Houston

Skin Deep Houston was founded in 2006 by Rebecca Morrison after she relocated to The Woodlands. The business describes itself as welcoming and respectful of every skin tone, background and identity.

The practice offers laser hair removal, which the business says uses current technology on skin of all shades and sensitivities. Chemical peels can be done on any part of the body and are used for a range of skin conditions. Skin care treatments and consultations on skin concerns round out the menu. Downtime after a peel varies with depth: lighter peels may flake or peel for a couple of days, while deeper ones can take up to a week or longer, and this is reviewed during the visit.

Preparation is part of the booking. Laser clients are asked to shave or trim the area the night before or the morning of, avoid waxing or cream depilatories for one to two weeks beforehand, and arrive with the skin free of makeup, lotions and sunburn. Tanned skin is acceptable, but sun and tanning beds should be avoided for three to five days before treatment. Cancellations, no-shows and changes made with less than 48 hours notice carry a rebooking fee, and late arrivals of more than 15 minutes must reschedule. The business says local physicians have referred patients to it.

The practice is built around individual skin assessment and treatments chosen for each client's skin type and tone.
