I orginally went to dr. for acne, but while there i explained to dr. that in june i was going on vacation and that i would like to go with a clear face, and she suggested that i do the chemical peel.

She gave me and antbiotic to take for a month and retina and cephil to use on my face,then i went back to her in about 2 weeks for a chemical peel, while the ma was cleaning my face, for the peel and it was burning, i told her and the dermotologist, who then said we will do the b-lift 20% instead of the chemical peel, it burned like she sid when she applied it and then it cooled down, i washed my face, it was frost white, and then the ma applied moistureizer and sunscreen, the spots then turned dark, the dr. sid it was died skin and that it will fall off in 24 hours.

Its still here and it looks horrible it looks like burns is this normal and will it heal i leave for miami on the 24th of june

Don't worry! Your dr is wrong when said it will fall of 24hrs. It usually took exactly 2 weeks. Your dr should give you peeling lotion with it. I use neosporin. It does the job of peeling. Basically, your skin need to be super moisture. After the skin get super soft, you can go ahead peel it yourself and the skin come off very easy. Your new skin look fabulous soft and smooth like a baby! TCA is a good peeling. You been charge too high. I peel myself only 50$ with 25x peel! I bought mine on ebay.

Hi all ! Two days back I done chemical peel ( 40% gycholic) at home. Somehow I got several brown spot (kind of burn) on my face. I am wondering how long it will take to go away, I'm concern because when I did first time last moth I have not faced this problem my face was absolutely fine. Why it happened this time. Should I see the dermatologist ? Please suggest me.

Did your skin heal after all? Any scarring?

Hi all, Is it customary to tip a aesthetician in medical setting spa.

i had a chemical peel 4 days ago. i went to a medical aesthetician. my question is , is it normal for your face to swell( alot). i'm using vaseline, but my face is really tight. but the swelling is what i'm worried about. they didn't say anything about swelling. does anyone have an answer.

@sedona
Yes swelling can happen with chemical peels. Do not use vaseline. I surprised they didn't tell you that. Use neosporin twice a day.
