Swelling and Hyperpigmentation After Microdermabrasion and Chemical Peel
I am 39 years old and med-skinned. I had microdermabrasion and chemical peel done at same time. I had these treatments many times before to remove brown pigmentation on cheeks, between the brows, and above the lip. I was getting great results until this last treatment.
My face swelled so much I was unrecognizable. Four weeks later I am horrified to find that almost my entire face now has brown pigmentation on it. I am afraid to go back to my doctor for more treatments now. I have remained out of sunlight for entire 4 weeks and did my aftercare skin regimen like always. Why did this happen? Did the doctor use too much of a strong peel? What can I do now?
Much more intense treatment than usual

I purchased a package that cost more so I’m not exactly sure on what the price was...
Depending on your Fitzpatrick Skin Type you may have been treated incorrectly! I have many clients who have had a similar problem as yours. If the WRONG peel in conjunction with an aggressive microderm was used this could be the problem. Did the technician or dr tell you what Fitzpatrick number you were? During a Good & Proper consult they Shoukd have.
