After lots of care by my dermatologist my skin is still partly red and rough. I've got white spots on my face, all pigmentation is gone because of the deep burn op the peeling. Dr Tonnaerd in Belgium is not more than a money machine. He doesn't inform the patient of the real risk of his peeling treatment. He lets you pay upfront so he has no problem, the patient however suffers.

Still not sure.

I can't tell if it will be worth while. I'm still waiting to heal. Unfortunately this is not predictable but as soon as I know myself I'll post it. In my opinion it never will be worth the pain and anguish I went through. It's certainly not appropriate for sensitive skin like mine.

Had mine done 4 years ago, it takes a long time to completely heal....at least a year

I was wondering if you were able to find a solution to the rough spots on your cheeks. I have a Hetter peel done around my eyes a little over 3 weeks ago and I have bumpy, rough areas around the whole area and it is not getting better. If anyone has any advice, please help! I think the doctor didn't have me wash my face enough with vinegar. He told me to just put on Vaseline for the first 4 days and then he told me to start with vinegar one time a day. I just started using olive oil on my face a couple of days ago.

You are only 3 weeks out. Hetter is based by phenol, what is the deepest chemical peel. Your skin is still in healing and peeling. It will take months to normalize. Dont use olive oil an fresh skin! Use a good moisturizer with healing properitys for sensitive skin. I am also 4 weeks out of phenol and my face looks like you describe your areas.

I had this same peel almost 4 years ago. Yes, it was very painful in the beginning......my face was very red for a very long time but I was able to cover it up with make up. Also, if I got hot or drank wine it made my face get really red. It also felt very tight and rough in spots. I had a hard time opening my mouth all the way. My Dr. explained to me from the beginning that it was going to be like that to make sure I still wanted to go through with it. I did, I was 65 at the time and had wrinkles around mouth, forehead and on my face. I saw improvements along the way but, after about a year, the redness faded and my face looked wonderful. Be patient, your face is like a newborn baby face, it will be adapting and changing until your finally healed. Good look to you....it's going to be wonderful.
