Not worth it - left a scar.

It's been a long time, but all in all, I regret having this peel. I now have a little indentation where that big pimple was. I'm planning on doing some fraxel once I can get my skin a little clearer.

Disappointed.

So I had my silk peel almost 2 weeks ago. Right after I noticed my skin felt awesome as far as the texture but as I anticipated, the treatment induced much of the acne to the surface. I am still purging, and I have noticed that the top layer of my skin is thinner, so when my pimples have been coming up and drying out, they are leaving scabs which they did not do before. This is a little worrisome, because I'm so afraid of scarring. The pimples also seem more red, which I know is a sign of inflammation, which I don't think is a good thing either. I also noticed yesterday that there were a few places where a pimple was healing that the pore looked much larger, not sure if that was from the extraction or just the pimple itself? At this point I'm still not sure if the procedure was "worth it".
I wonder if there is any good way of helping these scabs/pimples heal to reduce the possibility of leaving scars? Also, does anyone have an opinion on having extractions- whether or not it is a good/safe procedure?

You didn't need to go to a spa to get this treated. Just got to Acne.org and order their regime and it should heal up your pimples in no time, and no I'm not a bot spammer or anything to promote that site, it's just that I had similar pimples and acne similar to what you've shown here and Acne.org products healed it within a week or so.

It depends on skin type. Thick skin with deep come done takes many deep cleansing and exfoliating treatments to help purge the skin. Thinner skin must be approached with caution. It looks like you will heal fine. Stay on a mild cleanser, and incorporate AHA's in your moisturizer. It will help with cell turnover without undue irritation. Talk with your esthetician. No one in their right mind wishes a bad result.

Ok.. you can't just go for 1 treatment and say whether it's worth it or not... that's not how skin works... once serums are deposited, it can take 30-60 days depending on your age and cell turnover to see the final results:)... also, having just finished breastfeeding (been there!)... your body is stirring up the hormone soup again... so hormone induced breakouts, if you are prone, will appear until your menstrual cycle regulates (we all know that breastfeeding effects ovulation and menstrual cycle)... be wary of docs who try to put you on antibiotics because of hormone related breakouts
