I had an obagi blue radiance peel yesterday, and today my face is brighter except for all my pigmentation areas which have severely darkened. I also have new patches of pigmentation. Help, what do I do? I have African American skin and I'm fairly light, but the pigment is extremely dark. Should I wait a few days and go back to using OBAGI nu derm (with tretenoin), or start using it immediately? I don't understand how it happened, as I had been prepping my face with the system 10 weeks beforehand.
I had this done 4 days ago, was advided no down time but would experience redness and peeling. White fluid filled blisters formed around my mouth area on day 2 and 3. Some have leaked, some have dried out. Post treatment I was advised to cleanse and moisturise my skin with Cetaphil and use Heliocare spf of 50 and was tinted so redness wasnt noticable. I done this until day 3. I visited the clinic and was advised stop using and only clean face with saline liquid and apply aloe vera.
I was on nu derm 3 week and dermatologist recommended blue radiance peel . She said it mild one but in evening I developed pigmentation and superficial burn. I called her today she advised using hydroquinon 4% twice a day , sun screen and hydrate. Also advice I use retinal at night. Can somebody advice will it get better and also should I see a different person for treatment ? Really worried an upset
I began using Obagi 2,4 and 5 (with Refissa .05) and Clarisonic on lowest setting. Since use, (I'm male) broken capillaries have appeared on my lower eyelids, nose (top and side). On lower eyelids, purple vein branch. On right lower - a blue vertical vein near eye socket. Gentle pressure on Clarisonic. How do I treat? What's causing them? Do I seek the dr. with the most lasers available? I want the best clinician with most experience to avoid iatrogenic effect. I may have delicate skin?
