$3,000
Im on day 11 and my face is already healed I don't know what the surgeon used on my face but i don't believe it was the phenol peel now that its healed I can see all the wrinkles come back so I know what i payed for I didn't get . Im so very depressed now it took me months to save up to have it not be what I got because if it was the right peel I would still look sunburned I have very slight red skin .

How are you feeling now?
OMG! It looked bad enough. You say the wrinkles came back? On your day 8 you looked good. I just canceled a Phenol peel & got my money back. I am still going ahead with the facelift in Aug, but with my job I couldn't avoid the sun completely. So sorry.
I do look alot better now I think I picked a Dr that didn't know what he was doing I should of did more checking into him before I let him touch me I made the mistake of going with the cheapest price . I will go back to another dr and have my eyes done the dr I had wouldn't go near the eyes and that is where I had the most wrinkles
I think based on the pictures you look GREAT! I am considering a peel but am very concerned about all the swelling I see patients having since I cannot take prednisone.
But I think from what I see in the pics you look wondreful :)!
Might try the peel I had ( the original Exodem ) I am sure you would not be disappointed .
DId you have your 2. peel done? Or is your skin better as on day 11? I have the same experience. Im 2 Weeks post phenol and all my sacars and wrinkles are there like before. Im so angry! Also my pores are so huge and my skin looks rough. Im going to kill myself soon if this isnt temporarly. I swear by my life and my mothers life, i will not lIVE with THIS.
How are you feeling now and can I ask where you got this done??
Hey Crowley how are you doing. I just read this message. Im worried about you. Please answer me.
I had a peel and have more wrinkles! I am on day 13 and red face in spots and full of wrinkles. It is so depressing to waste all that money on false promises.
Wow this is terrible. I will never get that peel.

I'm glad to hear you were feeling better. Are you still having to keep the ointment on now, or has that changed at all over the last couple days?
Still can't go without the ointment it feels like its on fire if I don't use it . I just can't get over the itching it is really driving me crazy!!
Oh no, sorry to hear! Yes, itching can be so irritating, can't it?! I do hope that improves soon, and hope you will keep us posted on how long the itching lasts so we'll have an idea of how long that phase is.
Yeah, the itching would make me a little crazy too. Does the ointment help with the itching or just the feeling like it's on fire? The difference in the before and after is amazing!!! You look so good, especially for 8 days out!!
Nothing really helps with the itching only some people get the sever itching I take benadryl helps a little .
Oh, that has to be hard to deal with, benadryl knocks me out when I take it. Did your Dr. say how long the itching usually lasts?
He said it should stop when Im done healing but I've been rubbing it a lot so I have some more swelling today .
Are you allowed to put any kind of anti itch cream on it or does ice help? I'm assuming the itching is from the skin tightening as it heals?
You can put itch cream on I found out what is making it itch so bad is the ointment i went without it on today and didn't itch I just put it on for the night and I'm itching like crazy
Your wrinkles are gone, I hope it lasts. You look 10+ years younger

Wow,what an improvement in healing in just 3 days! How are you feeling?
Im feeling a lot better still have some healing to do just posted some more photos
I'm so sorry to hear that you are not happy with what you are seeing at this point. :( Since you are questioning if you had the right peel done, have you called the office where you had this done? I would definitely encourage you to do that.

Also, Here are some before and after pictures that doctors who volunteer on RealSelf have shared with us. Of course I would assume these were some of their best outcomes, but still could give you something to compare to.
