Not Worth It
Spent: $3,200 in Israel

I'm 44, and wanted to smooth superficial scars and wrinkles,.

the treatment was quick though, but very painfull. I did not react to this treatment as i expected. my skin is raised at some parts what makes scars more noticable. the wrinkles are gone and i look much younger, but I am still very blushed and warm, and the raised areas make it impossible to cover up with make up.

I can't return to my normal life yet..

I have done a medium plus Chemical Peel about almost two months ago. My new skin looked smooth after two weeks although was very red, but since after approximately three weeks I am developing irregularities-uneven, swollen, itchy and raised texture. My skin is still reddish warm and dynamic, changes.

My doctor prescribed me "dermovate cream" or ointment three times a day. Please kindly advise since I feel so bad and worried. Thank you.

My Doctor:

I did not recieve anything for the severe pain, the wrinkles are gone for now, but I am facing a long recovery time, with bad side effects.

Because you say it is warm and it itches but seemed fine at first If you should consider a cream for candida... Ask your doctor for a prescription for Ertaczo....Very gentle and can't hurt if it's not the problem.... This is a highly overlooked complication.... If you can drinking warm Apple cider vinager will help to.Or order apple cider vinager capsules..... Google candida rash Fungal rash You can easily get a fungal infection simply from using a family members towel..Things like this are not eliminated in the wash unless you wash every load on sanitary mode....

Also trade in the Dermovate after a few days for desonide lotion...Safer for the face.... Save the other for bug bites ect..he he
