I am happy with my results. But this scar line on the left side of my face has become more prominent since the peel. Especially with the last three weeks. Notice the scar starts an inch above my brow and runs along the side of my nose. The scar above the brow was caused by hitting my head on the corner of a car door some 10 year ago and the lower portion of the scar came from an old chemical peel some three years ago. That area around the nose is in a triangular shape and starts at my lower eye lid where skin is dry. Would arterifill help?

I have used the Skin Medica Serum for the last few mornings and just letting it soak in the line around the nose area.

Hi, Did you have a full face Hetter's peel? I paid for a full face Hetter, but only got it on my eyes and forehead. I think I have been ripped off. Paid 3500. Good results on eyes and it has only been 2 weeks. How long did you use Vaseline on your eyes? Did your forehead peel? Thank you.

Yes, I had a full hetters peel. 3,500 is pricey. My forehead was stubborn and had a hard time peeling and the skin underneath the eyes had a hard time peeling. The mid face and lower face must have peeled 25 times or more. I had to wash my whole face using vaseline and water mixed together. Those lines I am complaining about are very deep. Peels stimulate collagen. Maybe collagen is building up around those lines. Still even with the line there was lots of improvement. Tired of dishing out money for restylane every 4 months.

I have been getting restylane around my eyes. And of course you can tell it is time for more. This is a bottomless money pitt. Is there a solution for the average working person?

Everything in NJ is expensive! I had a lot of peeling around the eyes, but he did such a light peel on the rest of my face, that I did not peel at all. He said you don't have to peel to get good results. Not sure. What are you using for a moisturizer now and when did you stop the Vaseline? Do you have a before picture? Did you have a lot of lines? Thank you.

Hi,
I am hoping you can help me. I am 8.5 months post Hetter peel around my eyes. I am still red! Occasionally the red calms down, but it comes right back. My eyes get warm and then turn red. Did anything help you with the redness? I am scared!

I don't know what the strength of my peel was, but don't worry about the dark areas right now. Just keep out of sun and make sure you moisturize.
