I suffered with moderate acne for approximately 18 years, have mostly ice-pic scars and tried a combination of treatments to help smooth the texture of my skin, including CO2 laser, about 15 microneedling sessions with 5 TCA peels 25% and 2 glycolic peels 70% none of which have worked, I wondered if a deep phenol peel would help? I'm prepared for the downtime, I just want nice skin finally, had acne since I was 13, its the first thing I notice when I look in the mirror
I have very deep lines around my upper lip. I am 59 with very fair thin skin. I have been told that a Phenol peel is ideal for my skin. I have had the Yag long pulse laser several times on this area , and it has made little difference. I now live in Thailand , a dermatologist suggested I use the Erbuim Yag, but a well know plastic surgeon here told me it's going to make much difference on my my skin. He suggested the Phenol treatment for my fair delicate skin for long term results. I do not want Restalyne injections etc. This does not last. Please could you give me advice on which procedure I should undertake? Is it safe to use the Phenol peel around the eye area, if not what do you suggest. Thank-you in advan
I have done a lower eye pinch at this time and still have inner lower eye creepiness. I have also done a CO2 laser, 6 intracel lasers and PRP. Still no results. I am only 42 but I think its hereditary. Dysport helps a little
At almost 60 I'd like to go for a one time treatment (most bang for the buck) to rejuvinate my skin, laxity, acne scarring, overall more youthful appearance including the eye area. Which would be better for me and more long term? I live in New mexico so have minimal options and may be looking into Texas for treatment. A longer downtime does not matter. Results are what matter..My photos are quite frightening but, it is what it is. Thank you.
I've had severe cystic acne I only get a few tiny pimples now but I still deal with these marks and ive tried alot! Vi peels, glycolic, home remedies, nothing really helps .maybe I need more than One peel but I need to know what I'm dealing with :( Phenol peel? Higher percentage peel? Help :(
I'm going to get a deep phenol peel on my entire face. I had a face lift done several years ago and the scars are mature. What effect will the peel have in the scar? Will it end up making the rest of my face the same color as the scar?
I was informed during consultation that downtime would be about 2 weeks from Day 1 of procedure to the removal of the bismuth mask however the total downtime would be about 3-4 months to see redness/PIH go away. I was also told for as long as my skin is red I should avoid working out/running as high intensity activities could cause more pigmentation to occur. I'm well aware of avoiding the sun but how true is this statement and how soon can I resume?
