I've been going to Alicia for years and she never disappoints. Professional, warm and always friendly with a smile on her face. She's thorough and meticulous with her work and I've always had great results. Looking forward to my next visit.

Are you happy with the results from the peel? What did the peel help with?
Yes, I am. It lightened sun spots and made the texture of my skin much smoother. I'm going to have another done in a few weeks. It was def worth it. I just have a lot of sun damage and need more than one peel.
Thank you. Was the peeling bad? Did the peeling stop you from going out in public?
It didn't stop me from going in public, but it's pretty bad. I was self conscious of it. I liked that it peeled that much, though. I feel it, literally, gave me a whole new layer of skin. I peeled for a week. The worst peeling was 3 days.
Thank you. It's good that it was worth it.
How strong was your peel? Are you still peeling?
It was the strongest I've ever had. No, I'm no longer peeling. That lasted 6-7 days.
How did you manage not to peel off the flakes? I am hoping not too spend hundreds of dollars on the TNS products. Did the doctor give you any other options of products to buy? I'm having a Vitalize Peel tomorrow. I stopped using RetinA five days ago as I was instructed.
I’m just seeing these questions. I did not buy the TNS products. CeraVe products were the other options.
As far. the peeling, I used a tiny scissors to snip off the larger flakes. 3 peels did not have long term results. The nurse who did my peel said she gives herself a peel every month.
