Tags: expectation, results

I am 51. Could this peel make my pores larger? Can this line of demarcation be covered with make up? I am scheduled in May, but have not had the consultation yet. I only have two weeks down time in between classes. What does your face look like after 1 year? Is it pure white, unnatural looking?

I will post photos when done.Thanks

In my experience, phenol peels do not affect pore size either way (bigger or smaller). It does result in prolonged redness (sometimes 6 months or more) and when done correctly should not create a demarcation line. Most patients do want to wear some type of makeup cover as there is a lightening of the skin after phenol peels. Definitely bring these concerns up with your physician before undergoing any treatment.
