WORTH IT$2,850
After years of smoking and tanning I went to the doctor to have botox and filler for the severe wrinkles around my mouth. I was informed it wouldn't help and that I should have a deep chemical peel. The experience was incredible.
The first week it was hard to imagine that beauty was beneath all the dead skin waiting to fall off. Now 5 weeks later I look like I did in my thirties. I just turned 63 and it's amazing to turn a year older and look thirty years younger. People again are telling me I'm so pretty, it's been at least 10 years since I've heard that. I would do it again with out a doubt. It's well worth the time and money. To remain indoors for 4 weeks for possibly 20 years of the fountain of youth is worth every minute. Go for it!

Hello,
You look great;)
I also went two weeks ago & had a chemical peel. With the facial. It was wonderful, the only draw back is the peeling.... But that's part of the process. I really thought something was wrong the week or so after I was soo dry FYI if any body is thinking of doing the chemical peel. I stayed out of the sunlight as much as possible & moisturizer like crazy. But I also wanted to get Botox. My skin for now looks great & Bright natural glow.

Hello Prettyagain,
What a transformation! You look wonderful! This really worked well for you. I will be attending school at the end of this month where I will be learning about chemical peels as well as many other areas of spa treatments. So exciting. I can't wait to be able to help people feel young and beautiful again. You go girl! You are truly an inspiration!

You look great prettyagain. Please give us a 1 month update. What type of chemical peel did you have. I am 50 and VERY interested on the procedures you had. I too am a former smoker and sun worshiper.
Again, you are very beautiful!!!

I will be going in on Tuesday for the final touch up (milder solution around the lips) will go through the peeling again but I'm looking forward to it because I know the final outcome will be terrific. I had lip injections last week and I can't believe what I see in the mirror... why didn't I do this earlier in life. Thanks for your gracious comments. PS I wear sunscreen everyday to protect my skin from exposure that could promote wrinkles.

There has been some confusion on the type of peel I had... I had the Phenol peel done at "Artistic Plastic Surgery Center" in Tacoma Wa. It is the strongest peel needed to remove layers of skin. I continue to protect my face with suncreen and a hat when I know I'm going to be in the sun for any length of time. I get Botox between my eyes but no where else.

Hi, you look great and you know it. My question is - was it a TCA peel or a Phenol peel.
TCA is always considered a medium peel, but a phenol peel is a deep peel. Plus, did you have any post-peel complications?

PrettyAgain, I'm thinking you must have had a Phenol peel, not a TCA peel, from all that you've said. TCA peels are not a one shot deal, that's the Phenol peel. Also, you really don't get dramatic results from a TCA peel, but you do with the Phenol. So.....are you sure you had the TCA?

I had the phenol peel.

Hi Pretty again - I am now thinking you live in Washington (WA) rather than Western Australia (WA) - silly me :)

Thank you so much. The before picture is the one with my head tilted, curly hair, wearing black. If you enlarge the picture you can see how damaged my skin was.

What is your skin care regimen . OMG you look great! I'm new to all this and just got a light peel maybe I need something more than vitamin c peel.

I use Lancome moisturizer before bed and in the morning. To wash my face I use Curel wash bought at Walgrens. That is the extent of my regimen.

I'm happy for you and you were blessed to find a Doctor that gave you what you really needed instead of recommending lots of other procedures that do not work as well.
I'm in Baltimore/Annapolis area and need to find a qualified Doctor to give me a Phenol Peel. I have been looking and asking but there's no one coming forth or even listing the peel on their sites. Please ask your doctor if he can recommend an associate in my area that is experienced with the Phenol Peel.
Thank you,
Ann
