Anti Aging Skin Tips

Anyone had chemical peels before?

Im contemplating on doing one end of this month. Does it do any good for acne scars? Will I look decent enough 3 days after the session to go to work? (cant afford to take leave, im still new at work) Im 25 and had acne for the longest time. Its about time I get rid of the scars and leave bad memories behind!! :P

1. Okay, I had this done years ago so I don't know if it's different now...but your face peels horribly. You lose a couple layers of skin and it takes awhile. The top layer dies then comes off so it's white in spots that are not gone yet, then your face is red and raw. I told everyone I had an allergic reaction to a facial product because it was so awful looking. You can't wear makeup to cover it up. I got stared at a lot. I don't know what you do for a living, but I was very humiliated going to school with that. It was pretty bad for about a week. Ask your dermatologist for the specifics BEFORE you do it.
2. I have had a great experience and again this may be as I am in Australia but where I go I can get three or four different types of peel. I went for the same reason, I actually went to get microdermabrasion and was told it can bring out capillaries in the skin and damage your skin. So I had a really light peel, its called a benefit peel if you happen to have avana wherever you live. Basically you just look like you have had too much sun on the evening, then next day you look normal and the day after you look like you are peeling from the sun so you look odd but you could easily go to work, I went shopping and stuff (it looks just like when you peel when you come back from holiday). There are however much deeper peels that have you off work for days and thats for deep scaring. Acne scars aren;t usually incredibly deep so i assume you can do what I have done and have a light peel. Don't go for glycolic and don't go to a beauty salon (they are not trained always in Australia anyway). I go to a former nurse who runs a specialist clinic for botox etc (mild treatments). The scars are sooo much better too!!! I have been four times the first time had the best effect!!! My skin looked so much better and gradually as I go every now and then it gets a little better. I do recommend even though I was scared to death when I went for micro derm and she told me I should have acid on my face instead!
