If you have had a deep chemical peel would you do it again? Considering it but the down time and potential adverse effects are a bit scary. I have a break down of elastin caused by sun damage.

If you have sensitive skin do not get a peel.

My friend Bonnie had one and still says she will never, ever do it again.  It was very painful, she said.

There is less down time with laser resurfacing...usually around two to three weeks depending on the type of laser used and how much area is treated. But lasers are not for dark skin so the chemical peels are usually the only other option which can sometimes take months for the redness to subside even after the swelling part goes away.

If you are looking for something far less harsh (no down time), there is a professional, patented treatment called HydraFacial. It's a unique 30-minute treatment done in a derm office which is done once monthly for a period of usually six months. Over time these will help firm and lift. Check out how they do it at HydraFacial dot com.

Please be very cautious.  Is it really worth doing?

What is a deep peel, exactly?

Are there different ‘levels’ of peels?

I follow a celebrity MUA on YouTube &nshe recently did a

V-Peel...a weekend recovery.  Would that be a ‘light’ peel?

[HandbagHappy]

Yes, that would definitely be a light one

I wouldn’t touch a chemical peel.

I do them all the time. No biggie for me. I just follow directions.
