8 Weeks Post; One Month After "Touch-Up"

WORTH IT$400
The redness has faded greatly on my chin area and the wrinkling under that one eye is better. I used clear and epionce for abo two weeks but my skin only looked worse; very red and the texture was so rough i stopped everything except Obagi cleanser twice a day until I could figure out what to do. A Doc on this site said my skin was burned (very red), that you can't peel skin with 35% tca and then do it again 2 weeks later because there isn't a top layer of skin to remove, so the peel just went deeper into my skin. I expressed my concern to my doc and she said she always does what the patient wants. (so I guess by that logic if i asked her to put breast implants in my butt she'd agree to that; uh huh!) . The doc on this web site said I should be treating my skin as burned and not hyper pigmented, which my doc said. So for the last week i have used Mederma and auqaphor and i am seeing see major results. Whew, I was worried.

Thank you very much for posting such detail about your experience. I also appreciate you sharing that you learned this shouldn't be repeated in 2 weeks. I'm thinking of purchasing a 2-peel package and that's really helpful to know. The down time is longer than I would have expected too. Glad to see you got terrific results in the end!

Wow, I'm really surprised another doctor would "touch up" an area that was recently treated with an Obagi Blue Peel! That's really crazy! You have to wait literally months after a blue peel before touching your skin with another peel. The Obagi thins your skin, yes it makes it more radiant, and gives you rosy cheeks, and that is because you can see the blood flowing through your cheeks! You don't want to fool with it for quite a while after the process. But, it is a good peel, as long as you go to someone who respects it and doesn't abuse the patient through ignorance. JMO!!

Wow! Your skin texture is greatly improved. Have you tried aloe vera, straight from the plant? (Once your skin is healed, to prevent infection.) :)

Right after the above pics; at 14 days, I went back to PS who did some 'touching-up' as she called it. 35% TCA again, just not Blue. I have HP on my chin making me look like Chucky, there is now red under both eyes but one do I now have wrinkles where I had none, and my forehead has what looks like pitting in it. I saw her today and was unhappy. Not the best visit for either of us. I am treating this with Obagi Clear and Epionce Intensive Nourishing Lotion.

There is some small flaking still going on plus a little redness in places but the texture of my skin is much better. I'm still unhappy about the missed areas and the ones where less was applied but overall am happy with what was done. I am looking for a wider than wide brimmed hat and have invested in some good sun block as well as sun blocking eye shades. Will also continue to do my skin care routine when the doc says its okay. (It's so important to keep the sun at bay). I will repeat procedure when I can (take off work for a good 7 days at least) I hope this helps someone.

Hello, I’m desperate to do something to tighten my skin. My concern is under my eyes. It’s very minor and I’m looking for realistic results. Will this help? Did it tighten? Would you still recommend it?
