Oh my god I am so happy I did this!!!

I was going to have Fraxel laser resurfacing done....for $3000!!!! Then I posted on this board, read the replies....and cancelled it. I decided to look into peels instead. On Thursday I had a Jessners peel done for $90.00 and I am SHOCKED at the results. I cannot say enough great things about this procedure. My usual, acne scarred skin with the enormous pores (can you tell I hate my face?) is now soft and as smooth as a baby's butt. And this is only after one treatment. I am going to have 2 more done before the wedding....but....all I can say is WOW.

And on the plus side, I am now $2900 richer!

That is awesome! Congrats, the best new is that it worked and gave you results your happy with. The second best news is that you saved so much $$$!

Wow, thats awesome that this worked so well for you!!

I am trying to decide because there is so many different peels that you can get which would be best for me. How did you make your final decision I have been reading all the postings on this site about treatments to repair acne scars but there is so many to choose from!!

Jessners is a medium depth peel. I think the one that is the strongest is a TCA, which runs close to $1000 and I'm told is similar to laser resurfacing. There are lots of sites about chemical peels, and the jessner seemed to be the one that would help me best. I was pretty scary looking yesterday and the day before but now that the top layer has peeled off (eww, I know) I can definitely see the difference. My main goal is to feel comfortable NOT wearing makeup. I am definitely happy now but can imagine how thrilled I'll be after a couple more of these.

Oh, just FYI the plastic surgeon said stay away from do-it-yourself kits. People have literally burned holes in their faces with those.
