Frequently Asked Questions...
Skin resurfacing - I have tried chemical peel, IPL, glycolic, laser, AHA. I have acne scars, chicken pox scars
Nothing seems very effective. Has anyone tried Green Peel or fraxal for deep scars like chicken pox?
Answer:
Mary Kay?? How can anyone think of a Mary Kay product working after having all those other procedures done?? LOL
The next step up would be to have a Jessner "hot peel" which is very deep and I've seen amazing results. If that is STILL not enough, you must consult a dermatologist and have Dermabrasion - that's WAYYYY deeper than microdermabrasion. It's incredibly effective, but you must be warned that it can take several weeks to heal. I never recommend that anyone have Dermabrasion during very hot weather - if you sweat it can really irritate healing skin.
Restylane is another option - injections plump out the skin, reducing the appearance of scars and/or wrinkles and could be a good thing to try. Be warned that this is NOT permanent and you may need more injections as soon as four months after the last treatment. Best of luck!

REVIEW: Glycolic Acid Advanced Retexturizing Peel
How Chemical Peels Are Beneficial
The term chemical peels refer to treatments that are used in the process of improving the texture of your skin. This treatment is done by applying a form of chemical solution to your face so that the old cells can be shed off. These old skin cells may be dead or damaged. After undergoing treatment through chemical peels, one's skin tends to be smoother. In addition to this any wrinkles that were present are also greatly reduced. There are numerous ways that chemical peels can be beneficial to one. In addition to eliminating the presence of wrinkles on one's face, they are also good in the treatment of acne, uneven pigmentation of one's skin and even excessive dryness. Chemical peels come in two varieties. These are the strong chemical peels and the weaker chemical peels. Both these varieties of chemical peels are administered by healthcare professionals who have studied dermatology.
However, how do chemical peels work? To understand this, one must know what occurs to end up needing a chemical peel. The skin usually has older cells replaced by newer cells every other time. However, as we grow up, this replacement slows down. Thus we end up having an accumulation of dead skin cells as well as damaged skin cells on the top layer of our skin. The more that these accumulate and the less that they are replaced, the higher the chances that one begins to look aged. This is also the cause of pre-mature aging.
Chemical peels are made up of a range of ingredients. One such ingredient is glycolic acid. Glycolic acid chemical peels are made to react with the top superficial layer of one's skin. These chemical peels weaken what bind the dead skin cells together. In addition to that, they also stimulate the growth of new skin cells. Glycolic chemical peels allow for the skin to gradually repair itself by shedding the dead skin cells that have accumulated over time. Regular treatments with this kind of chemical peels result into younger looking skin that is fresh and has a smooth texture. Glycolic chemical peels can also be used to combat oily skin as well as acne.
Mild chemical peels tend to contain the ingredient alpha hydroxyl acid. This is also known as AHA. This type of acid is organic and is derived from natural sources. AHA is odorless and also soluble in water. It is the best choice for chemical peels that are suited for at home use.
When going for a chemical peel at your spa, ensure that you have booked an appointment beforehand. There is not much preparation that you would need to do as the spa attendants will prep you for the process. Ensure that the spa that you choose to have your chemical peel done is reputable. This is to ensure that you avoid any instances of having the chemical peels applied to your face to cause you adverse damages. Always remember that chemical peels are treatments that should be done once in a while and not daily.
