WORTH IT$300
I opted for Apeele peel instead of Fraxel Laser due to the pain factor.

Day 1 of the Apeele Peel- Only stung a little on the second pass as she was applying it to my skin. It had a more stinging effect and was easily controlled by fanning myself. The pictures don't sure the actual color- I am defiantly more red than pic shows. It no longer stings that was only for a few minutes during application, my skin just feels tight. My boyfriend said it look like I went into a tanning bed for too long. Stay tuned I will be posting day 2 tomorrow.

Thank you for chronicling your experience here on RealSelf! I can't wait to see how your results progress!

Have you had Fraxel before?

yes I have had fraxel and even with the best pain medicine it still was extremely painful. the peel hurt for a couple of minutes on the 2nd pass because the 1st pass has a numbing agent in it. it literally stings for 1 min but fanning it keeps the edge off of the feeling.
Day 2 and 3: I stayed a little red all over with my skin tightening. No pain at all. I used a light layer of aquafore and applied several times during the day. Day 4: oh boy after I washed my face in the morning and put my skin lightener and spf on i was already starting to peel. It was light flaking all over my face. This day was the worst day but still again it never hurt. One thing you want to make sure is you don't do is peel it because if it is not ready it will be raw under the area that is peeling. You will peel quick so don't try to help it and let it work through the process you will get beter results that way. Day 5- today. My peeling is almost done I have just some light peeling around the perimeter of my face. I'm already seeing how great my skin is going to look. My boyfriend even said "I want to have baby skin like yours" I will take pics on Monday (Day 8) which I should be 100% healed and give you updates of tomorrow and the next. This is my 2nd deep peel and it was much easier than the 1st one and 200% easier with no pain next to the option of fraxel. Stay tuned :)
Did you ever take or post pictures from Day 8. I just booked an appointment to get the Apeele Peel done over the laser, and am super curious to hear how your final results turned out
