microdermabrasion/parisian peel

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

I am having the peels done in conjunction with the photoderm treatments,

and I have to report that at this point in time, my skin appears to have

a smoother surface--from the 2 photoderms last summer (having suffered

burns/blisters which left some scarring) to the 3 I've had since

December '99, with 4 peels in between the photoD sessions; there is an

improvement. With the peels, I signed up and paid for, a package of 12

total--because the package deal was so much cheaper than paying for each

one on a single treatment basis.....I decided this after my first peel,

with only the " cleaned up and cleared " impression I had, so that single

treatment payment was applied to the other 11 that would be on the

12-package. I can get out, see the left side of my face in the car

window reflected back at me, and not want to vomit at what I see about

the surface of my skin. I will be going for peel #5 this Friday; and am

hoping that eventually, the line-burn-scar from June's '99 treatment,

will fade completely.

Mike--this is not to say that photoderm with peels is something that

everyone could tolerate, or even NEED.....but if you have the uneven, or

marked skin surface that many of us come to suffer from, you may wish to

investigate it--you may end up deciding it's totally horrible for your

type skin!

Wishing you the best,

Carol

Hi a,

I probably have, a medium skin-tone, and the photoderm, for me is set at " type

III " skin...blonde, blue eyed (greenish) with skin that does not generally burn

(I

am not a sun worshipper--too HOT, & Heat does bother me) or I take all day to

get

a sunburn without sunscreen on! My skin is chemically sensitive-- NO, not

perfume! --but things like " myristals " " myristates " " palmitic " " palmitate "

" stearic acid " in very heavy amounts makes my poor face rage up into loads of

ugly

papules, maybe because almost every facial care product seems to have at least a

few of these " baddies " for my skin, contained in them. Also, my skin is

probably

(I hate to use the term) Normal to Oily--although I just can't consider rosacea

skin " normal " !!!!

Hope this helps,

Carol
