Asked By:EllaNg in Ellenwood, GA

Problem with Vitalize Peel. So had the Skinmedica Vitalize peel done on Tuesday and up until Saturday most skin is peeled off. However the new skin does not look like how i expected. it is pinkish red, it is itchy still. and it looks like it forms a light light scaly wrinkly scab all over the new skin. Honestly the new skin that revealed after layers of skin peeled off looks like I just got a peel done yesterday. Can anyone tell me what is going on?
