Green Peel Definitely NOT WORTH IT - Tacoma, WA

Sept of 2009 I went to a Spa in Tacoma and the aesthician suggested a green peel. All I wanted to do, was reduce my pores on one side of my face- they were not really visible, but I could see a them a little, so I thought Id be proactive.Long story short- everything the woman claimed it would do- it did the opposite- my pores were strecthed- so that they were MORE visible, the procedure was excruciating pain, I developed melasma, dark spots all over (and I have never had hyperpigmentation) in certain spots on my face- like around my nose- the collagen was damaged, and I have to sleep a certain way or my skin in that area crinkles (never did before)This is not a product for women with brown skin- and the aesthitician SHOULD have know this. I have been recovering for the last year.

Great review?

terrible experience- caused severe skin damage

Hi tacoma,

Oh my, I'm so sorry, what you've been going through sounds horrible. Have you gone to see another doctor to see if they could help? Please keep us updated.

Thanks so much for the review,
