URGENT Superficial Chemical Burn from "Fire and Ice Facial" at Medical Spa. Please help!

October 9, 2016
Asked By:knips3118 in Bellevue, WA

On Friday, I had a Fire & Ice Facial from a Medi-Spa in my area. I made sure to ask if Retinol use was ok. (I had stopped use of my Retinol 0.5% 2 days b4.). After, certain spots of my face started oozing, In response, she gave me the TNS Recovery complex & the iS Clinical Pro Heal serum to quicken healing. I was told to apply both. Then it sunk in. Did I worsen or cause irreparable damage? I would like to minimize possible scarring as much as I can, & help the healing process. Please help!!

Is it possible for a chemical peel to WORSEN wrinkles?
David Hansen, MD says:
