WORTH IT$1,800
Very pleased with the new skin that is replacing the old skin. Happy that the vertical lip lines are smoother than before I had the peel, although one of my reasons for doing this was to get rid of them forever. My crows feet that really showed when I smiled before the peel are practically non-existant. I think they want be back for a while as long as I wear the sunglasses and stop squinting. However, there are still a few short crow lines around the corners of eyes but that is ok. To get rid of them was not at the top of my list. I will keep you updated. I have more healing to do.

Chemical peel
26 days out. Still very pinkish, but the pink is fading and my normal skin color is seeping thru. A little worried about the outline of the pink against the white. But it gets better everyday. Keeping it moisturized every two hours with Skin Medica Dermal Repair Cream and Sunscreen. Will return to doctor in 3 weeks.

Chemical Peel (Hetters)
4 weeks out. Very worried. Lots of discoloration especially where the pinkish/brown color of face meets the white skin surrounding the eyes. Mega wrinkles under eyes. The under eye wrinkles were there before the peel but are more visible now. Also, my neck has discoloration from the few spots were coated with the peel solution. Keeping face moisturized every two hours during the day and using a heavy moisturizer at night. I have not use the camo makeup much. It drys my skin out. People are still asking what happened. The 2 major issues here are discoloration and the wrinkles under the eyes. I wished I had gone with the C02 laser resurfacing and the other doctor who had done my sister's face and the under eye area. I have spent a lot of money here and nothing to show for it. That is the bad part. Got to remain positive, go forward and put it behind me. I have a follow up appointment today.

Did the color even out?

HI Chichi,
Thank you for your response. I was told I will have to use Vaseline for the first week and a half. Is that what you did and then you used Skin Medica?? Did you have the peel done on your upper lids as well or just your lower lids? Any information you could share about your experience would be very helpful. Again, thank you!

Dear K2014, I use the Skin Medica Restorative Ointment for about a week then switched to using the vasoline. I could not even wash my face without the vasoline. I would put a little vasoline in my hand, cup my hand and scoop water into my hand then apply to my face. It was the only way I could wash my face. And I used the softest fingertip towel I could find to pat my face dry.
My upper and lower eye area were peeled too.

Thank you. Are you happy with the uppers. I have a lot of wrinkly loose skin on my uppers. If you have the same problem, did it help with that?

That was not a very complimentary review for the staff and doc at River Region that I posted on Sept. 23rd. It just happened to be the way I felt. It was so hard healing and remaining positive.

My skin discoloration is evening out. I use skin medica lytera morning and night. The spots that are really stubborn are on my neck. Using a concealing by color science or by laura mercier has been a life saver. It lets me forget about the flaws of discoloration while I heal. All in all it is worth. Just make sure you have a good doctor. If you live in Alabama try Dr. Michael Bowman for a hetters peel. He does good work.

Today I can say I am glad I used Dr. Bowman rather than another doctor or procedure.
