Brief Answer: Details below Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX Thanks for the follow up and sorry for delay in reply. You dont need to buy these peels, as they are done on once a month basis. One session costs Rs 3000. Just meet a dermatologist and get it done. For fine hairs you can use Eflora cream twice daily. This will give you good relief. Let me know if any other doubts are there. Thank you
