Chemical peels

[Dannah]

I have been doing a series of peels and micro derm. I have had two so far. She gives me a facial, puts the glycolic peel on, and then microderm. Oh - and then this light therapy thing. It's only been $75 a treatment....but well worth it. I can tell not only are some of my darker spots lightening, but my skin is smoother, pores are smaller...and dare I say...some of my fine lines are gone?!!!!!! If you are thinking about it I would go with a glycolic first.

I've always been afraid of trying those chemical peels ever since that episode of Sex and the City oh so many years ago.... let us know how it goes!

I have been getting chemical peels for about a year and let me tell you, the first few my face definitely PEELED!!! I always schedule mine for a Wed. because by Fri/Sat my face is falling off....I know that sounds unsightly, but the glow that you have afterwards, is SO worth it.

 

I don't know much about microdermabrasion....It is something that I'd like to have though....I am doing these because I have red marks/scars on my face from old acne.

I've been getting chemical peels every month for over a year now. I usually get them on Friday and by Sunday my skin looks fine, it's still peeling a little, but it just looks like you have very dry skin. If you get one two weeks before your wedding, your skin will look amazing on your wedding day.

LOL!!! I mentioned this exactly to my esthitician right before my first peel

I have gotten 2 chemical peels so far, one a month since the beginning of this year and will continue until April. Then I was recommended to get an oxygen facial that is supposed to make you skin glowy and gorgeous.

I can't say enough about chemical peels, my skin looks amazing and I haven't been breaking out really at all. I get them on Sunday and by Monday my face is fine, no redness. I peel very slightly, nothing bad but it's different for everyone I guess.

It's comforting to hear that many have had good experiences, but unnerving to know that it affects everyone so differently! I don't know what to think!
