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?
