I’ve heard a lot about chemical peels like TCA peel and Glycolic Peel. Can I save money and do it at-home or not worth the risk and go to the derm?
Does anyone know how I can heal the scarring on my face from a bad chemical peel? I am devasted to say the least. They left the peel on too long while I was asleep. I have tried vitamin E--nothing helps. It looks like someome burned my face and I have white streaks at the jaw bone on both sides. If you have had this problem, too, please let me know. Thanks...signed Depressed
I had an 8% tca peel done under my eye by my dermatologist for hyper-pigmentation. She did 4 passes , I do not remember her neutralizing it but I figure she must know what she is doing. Since then my skin looks thinner and I can see little fine lines in the area of the peel. They are in kind of weird shapes. I did not have any of this before. It looks as though there is a layer of thin , fine...
Why would I want to treat my acne scars with a chemical peel if the risk from a chemical peel is scarring? Does that make sense? Maybe the risk is really low.
I am thinking about the VIPeel. Does anyone have experience with this?
Had tca peel 30 percent a month ago, but it didn't last long now I am having dark spots all over where I had peel. An afraid is this permanent??
I recently did a glycolic peel of 40% on my face. I have used one before that was even higher(50%) and had no problems. I noticed great results on my acne scarring. So I was happy with the product. but because I am so fair skinned I went a little lower by using a 40% peel. I left it on for only 2-3 minutes tops.. and had immediate blistering. after about an hour they dissapeared and my...
Ive heard some horror stories even from people who had it done in a doctors office. how common is this & is there anything i can do to avoid such a thing happening? im considering doing something called a vitalize peel. ive been using retin a for about a year & a half & was told to stop usage at least a week prior to treatment. but reading some of these horror stories has me concerned.
All the doctors on this site say no. Yet a consumer did it and had great results at home. What is the truth?
I am Asian and with fairly light skin. And noticed that I am getting age spots and hyperpigmentation on my forehead and around my cheeks. I have gotten peels done professionally then started doing 30% glycolic peel at home but I didn't see any difference so I started on the 50% glycolic peel. Currently, I am on my 4th peel and I do the peel every 7-8 days...
6 months ago I burned my forehead using a tca peel .it's still pink and blanch on pressure.it's not improved since it happened 6 months ago
I did a 2 layer 12.5 and I'm on day 4 now. I have tiny light spots on the dark patch where I put the peel on. It isn't flaking, but is very tight and wrinkly when I move my mouth. There is no flaking and signs of peeling at all. It feels like I have a deep, thick, and stiff scab on my skin. Is the light spots signs of over peeling and a burn. NOTE: The two large dark spots are not burnt...
I invested in the peel, now want it to last!
The spa I just visited has an "herbal" green peal for skin rejuvanation...is it going to work on fine lines around my mouth and eyes?No a lot of money but no need to waste $$ and time!

I have a Glycolic peel scheduled for two weeks after my Radiesse injections. Am I chasing my tail? Hate to spend the $$$ for the Radiesse filler if the peel is going to weaken the effects. If anyone knows for sure, I'd appreciate your response. Thanks.
I have red marks on my face that look like acne, but the skin over the mark is smooth (not a bump ) like pimples. I have gotten chemical peels before to lighten some of this scaring , however it did take 6 peels to see a noticeable difference. My hormones went crazy because I got off birth control, and I ended up right back where I started. This time, I've stuck with the regiment of Acanya Gel...
I went in to get a facial at a spa about 2 days ago. I had told them previously that I had been using Retin A in certain places on my face. They put a 20% glycolic peel on my face without me knowing and it started to burn. About 2 minutes later they took it off. I now have two huge starting to scab circles under my eyes where I had used Retin A. I went to the dermatologist and they said it...
