I can understand your cousins interest in this procedure. I have an annual peel, performed by a doctor, to maintain the clarity of my complexion (I have suffered from mild adult acne for years). It sounds to me like her procedure was a 'low level' peel that wouldn't cause too much disruption to her everyday life. To me this seems like a good option as the peels I have make me look pretty shocking for a few days - the total down time is a week but the results are stunning (people comment on the improvement and I love knowing that my peel has had such a dramatic effect at improving my skin). I love returning to work after my 'holiday' peel!
From experience I would recommend the stronger procedure I have be performed by a doctor/dermatologist, perhaps the type who runs a medi-spa, so that you know your face is in safe hands (I'm a teacher so I can't risk making a real mess of my face). It should also be noted that you must treat your skin really carefully after the procedure (no pulling off the dead skin) and apply LOTS of sunscreen after (and for good if you want to stay young looking). So, yes, it's not for the feint hearted but trust me 'chemical' and 'peel' are not to be feared if you choose the clinic you attend carefully. I reckon word of mouth is the best way to choose. Ask your friends and you may just be surprised how many have had a peel.
