how safe is a chemical peel on your face? How did it help your skin? Did th effects last? What are the dangers and side effects?
How much did cost....and what kind of dr do you have to go to for the procedure...or is it done at a spa?

    I’m a licensed aesthetician and have received and given several chemical peels. They are extremely safe on the right candidate (not pregnant, not sunburnt, not the wrong skintype, etc…). It helped my skin by even exfoliation of the dead skin and plumping of the dermal layers beneath the epidermis. It also created a supple glow to my entire face. The effects continue to last because a change was made and I continued to care for my skin after each peel. Dangers and side effects can be long if you go to someone not trained to perform chemical peels or if the practitioner chooses to perform a peel that is not suitable to your skin type and tone. They can include: redness, swelling, itching, pinpoint bleeding, pigmentation problems post peel. Peels usually run from $75-$500 depending on the peel and how many layers are applied. A dermatologist and/or plastic surgeon are needed to perform medium to deep level peels (the kind where they knock you out to apply). A spa with a licensed aesthetician with additional certificates for chemical peels should be sought out for simple to medium depth peels. In my experience, I LOVE Physicians Choice of Arizona products. Find a spa in your area that provides these peels by checking out http://www.pcaskin.com. The UltraPeel and the SensiPeel are two of my favs and they can be used on practically anyone and I’ve never seen a bad peel from these products…EVER! Good luck and feel free to contact me.

    No, I have never had one. I have very sensative skin, I’m afraid my face would break out and react badly to it. I just use the facial peeling masks I buy at the store, and the dove facial wash and lotion.

    Well, ive never had one done but i want to get one. I wouldnt recommend you do it after summer becuase you have to stay away from the sun. Do your research! Have them do a small part of your face and then wait. No matter how dumb that sounds or how out of the way they feel.
