  I met Bryan casually in our neighborhood walking our dogs and one day met serendipitously at a local park and we got to talking  about work. He told me he is an esthetician and specializes in face peels. I was immediately interested and subsequently scheduled an initial consultation that led to the completion of four face peels over a period of three months. 

The first thing to note about  Bryan, aside from being extremely personable, likeable and friendly, is that he is highly professional and knowledgeable when it comes to skin care. I had expressed some hesitation about the process due to my sun damaged skin, especially my face and he was very patient answering my questions and  concerns.  

Bryan is very careful and conscientious, starting out slow, seeing how my face reacted to the first chemical peel and then gradually increasing the strength. And he explains every stage and step of the process while he works on you. Each peel is followed a week later with an equally thorough exfoliation.

The results of the first peel were immediately noticeable.  Lines on my forehead were more shallow as were the crow's feet around the eyes.  Redness from rosacea also diminished.  All my preconceptions about doing a chemical face peel were dispelled thanks to Bryan's thorough explanations and careful face peel treatments. Upon completion of the fourth peel and exfoliation the lines became progressively shallower and the redness also decreased substantially. My skin overall became noticeably clearer. 

I am also very impressed with the Afa line of skin care products he uses and that one can purchase.  I have been very happy with the toner mist, face cleansers, moisturizers, serum and eye cream in addition to the Advanced Treatment lotion for body skin care.

In short I highly recommend Bryan, The Peel Guy, for your skin care needs and especially if you are considering a face peel.  The process and results exceeded my expectations and I have decided to continue doing follow-up peels about every six months. Bryan will allay any concerns or hesitations you may have.

 Little update for you (: I've been using the gel cleanser, exfoliant, moisturizer (am) & acne care (pm) every day. The difference is definitely very, very noticeable. I can tell the effect the afa brand works very well for me. Thank you so much as always. You're awesome

 I’ve suffered from acne majority of my life. Now, that I have my acne under control, I was looking for something new to help with my old acne scars and hyperpigmentation. I’ve had many chemical peel treatments over the years to help with my acne. So, when my locticion told me about Bryan I wanted to try him out and I’m glad I did! The afaLUXE is different than any other peel I’ve had and it’s very tolerable. You also see results after the very first peel. I would recommend this peel to anyone who wants to even out the texture of their skin or reduce fine lines and wrinkles. You will not be disappointed!

 I've had a few of the peels now from Bryan. My favorite part is how my face feels after the peel is cleaned off. My skin is so fresh and smooth. The other thing I like about these is the fact that it's not a harsh chemical that burns the skin and you have to hide from the world. You can literally work the next day and no one will notice a thing - except the lack of makeup. I certainly wish I lived closer so I could get them more often. [Portland, July 2024]

 I've  suffered from hyperpigmentation for some time. And getting consistent facial/peels have truly made a difference. I noticed a difference in texture and appearance immediately. Hands down an amazing service. [El Cerrito, July 2024]

I haven’t done much skin care in my life, and now that I’m in my 60s, it’s time. I must say, I enjoyed the process of getting a peel and an exfoliation. It was unusual and fun to have the mask and other products applied, and to see what kind of result I would have. Bryan was great at explaining every step so I was able to enjoy the procedures without any surprises. My skin tends to be a little dry and spotty, and after the exfoliation, all the dry skin was gone and I felt so smooth. A month later, I am still much smoother and my skin is more even. I’m looking forward to future peels, and I have added a basic regimen of hydrating face wash and toner that is helping me hang on to the good results.

I knew my damages to the skin on my face went deep, but I had no idea how well the treatment 

would repair my skin. I am beside myself dancing with joy. Thank you so much for being the one person that truly helped me through this rough time. 

When I thought I was doomed to a terrible existence hiding a scarred face. Your treatment saved me. 

I am forever so grateful.

I tear up with happiness looking at where my face was 3 months ago and where my face is now. It is no less than a Miracle how this treatment changed my skin completely.

After finishing my series my skin feels softer, and the lines around my eyes are barely noticeable. Some of my "splotches" are gone too! 

As a man in my 50's it was great to "tune up" my skin with no real effort.

  I will say I was blown away by the facial peel I received from Bryan! I was not sure about the process at first but listened to him explain each step and wow, I can surely see the difference. My skin feels so soft and rejuvenated… Also, a few sun damage spots are almost invisible… can’t wait for my next appt!!!   

[Walnut Creek, February 2023]

 For years I've been getting the occasional facial at day spas but have always been hesitant of peels. Bryan assured me it would be a positive experience and he was right. The actual appointment was so relaxing and Bryan talked through every step so I knew what was happening and there were no surprises. After the exfoliation of only one peel, my skin is already smoother and brighter. I hope to continue through the entire series.

 i have been having issues on the back of my neck where after decades of misuse the skin became tough from being in the sun and not being as protected. after only two peels, i can already feel the lightening of the skin and the smoothness of the skin coming back to the area. while i have been attempting to wear kerchiefs and large hats, i'm now getting to enjoy being out in the sun again; thank you bryan! 

 [Berkeley, February 2023]

I'm a newbie to facial peels and was very apprehensive going in. I followed the directions and the process was simple enough. I will say I'm amazed at how great my face feels! I only wish I was closer so I could go through the whole series.

 [Portland, February 2023]

 The peel removed my milia so thank you so much for that [and] it definitely helped with Bill's fine lines. His forehead looks amazing. 

 [Las Vegas, February 2023]

I've been really happy with the experience. Bryan is meticulous with his treatments, and I've seen good results so far.
