AHA peels first to calm inflammed skin
I was at the medical spa today. Really good experience, for the first time I have the feeling i can trust the dermatologist :)
She told me my skin is typically acne prone and due to the laser/ needing treatment the skin is inflammed again. As mentioned before, my skin looks really dull and tired with enlarged pores and scars more visible than ever.
She recommended a 6 week AHA peeling series - we started today with AHA 20%, I will use my own 15%AHA at home.
Skin looks great after the first session - healthier, a little tanned. I guess the effect is short-term but I feel already relieved :)
After the 6 fruit acid peels, my skin should be thinner, refined and less oily. Than the needling can follow.
Will keep you posted. Wish me luck :))

Looks good. I, too, like the Dermapen! It really helped with some shallow scars I had around my mouth. Keep it up!

Post Dermapen, Day 6
My skin healed very well.
No redness anymore. Cannot see big improvements by now, but its too early to tell.
I will restart my skincare regime tomorrow - every night first AHA 15%, then after approx 30min Retinol 1% cream.
Aditionally I have found great stories about turmeric masks. http://www.acne.org/turmeric-reviews-1198/
I love this natural healing stuff, so I am already lying on my couch with such a mask on my face :)
Appointment at medspa next week to discuss other treatment options (no more lasers! :)
Will keep you updated - cheers from
