@Skyegirl21 WOW ~ I have never heard of that peel (did just do a quick search on it ) and now you have me intriqued ~ I have so many questionsI'll start with ~ how was the pain and discomfort the first few weeks ? I have thin creppy skin under eye ~I'm menopausal so skin will keep getting thinner and know I will get to the point where i will want to do something .

@CoastalGal , I had never heard of this either until my consult with the surgeon!
I explain a lot in my first post. During the procedure they had me use nitrous gas and had me take a Valium. The procedure was uncomfortable but very manageable- You absolutely do need a ride home after. Immediately after, it burned, but I took 2 ibuprofen immediately and it calmed down. Right after that, honestly, I absolutely had no pain, zero, but I did have swelling for 2-3 days ( not swelled shut though) . I had a work deadline on day 2, and even with some eye swelling, I was able to work ( remotely, of course).
You will want to be home for the whole week, becaue you have a green healing mask on your eyes- seriously, look up "bismuth green mask", it's unsightly- I wore sunglasses and a cap and I was able to walk the dog. The mask sort of wears away over the week- Then they will remove it, and next couple of days, your skin peels off. YOU ARE FORBIDDEN TO PICK OR PULL THE SKIN - otherwise you can damage the new delicate skin. HTH! It's called a phenol- croton oil peel. Find a place that does it routinely and staff has been trained by a pro. Best wishes!
