The final look is thinner and, reassuringly, the products are made in Bio Sculpture’s own factory (many brands source from China and information around formulation and manufacturing can be vague). And don’t be afraid to ask for removal, and leave if in doubt – good techs hate sloppy work, take safety very seriously and welcome client questions.
