Susan's Second Appointment

These photographs are from one month after Susan's first chemical peel. They are from her second treatment session, but keep in mind she has had only one treatment in the pictures.

It's interesting that in the full-face photograph, it's hard to tell a difference between the true "before" photograph from last month and this one. Susan came in tired (it's been a long few weeks for her)and it really does make a huge difference.

I will show in the close up of her eyes, however, that she is definately showing improvement. The fine lines and wrinkles are not as prominent. She's been using the PCA anti-aging kit for a few weeks as well so next time she comes in there should be even more changes.

The picture on the left is her "before" photograph. The one on the right is one month after her first treatment. You can tell a big difference in the lines to the side of the eyes, the line that is by her eyebrow, and the general tone around her eyes. This is after only one treatment.

Today we did almost exactly the same treatment as last time, only we used a slightly different formulation for the chemical peel. She experienced very little sensation and rated it at around a 1.5-2.0 on a 1 to 10 scale. (Most people say that putting on toner in the morning is around a 2.0.)

No, this picture isn't sideways; she's laying down! I've included this because many people ask me how red they are going to be after a treatment. This photo was taken within two minutes of putting on all the products; approximately five minutes after the last layer of peel was applied. . You can see a soft pink line in the center of her forehead. Some clients do get slightly more red, however as you can see, Susan has normal skin tone. The slight shine is normal and is usually all that gets commented on, if anything

Many people have the preconception that a chemical peel is going to make them look like cooked fish--very "blanched". At Light Weaver Massage & Esthetics, I do only "superficial" chemical peels which have very little to zero downtime. ("Superficial" relates to the depth of the peel.)

The shows (such as Extreme Makeover and Ten Years Younger) that often show people getting chemical peels use the services of a plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Because they have only a few weeks to get results they use a more dramatic procedure called a "medium-depth" or even a deep chemical peel. These peels are very uncomfortable in comparison, have downtime, and cost much much more. However, fewer treatments are usually needed to get the same results.
