| Pros | softer skin, lighter scars, and finally gaining my confidence back :) |
|---|---|
| Cons | peeled for about a week, and I thought that the procedure hurt. |
| Bottom line | Hello, I have had acne for about 6 years (I am 21). I have tried everything it feels like but than I got a medium peel done ($50) and I noticed how much softer and clearer my skin is... The nurse did tell me to take my oral medication twice a day like it is recommended and I have'nt broken out really bad. But I have noticed my scars are a little less red and my skin looks more fresh and healthy.(After one peel) I believe that this procedure can help me feel better about myself where I feel like I dont need to put a mask of make-up on everyday. I am actually going for my second peel tomorrow :) I am so excited I cant wait till I see the results after this peel :) after this peel if I have no more active breakouts than I am gonna start microdermabrasions. Good Luck! |

| Pros | Hyperpigmentation, mild to moderate scars, interrupts acne breakout cycle, fine lines and wrinkles diminished. Post-peel kit for after care is given to you to take home! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Can have a tingling sensation at the start of treatment, skin visibly/physically sloughs off. |
| Bottom line | Had the VI Peel performed just before Memorial Day '08, and again 09/15/08. Excellent results, your skin is much brighter and even toned. Women beware: You can't cover up with make-up because of the peeling. After you complete the peeling process, you will not want to wear make-up. |

| Pros | It worked after two treatments and my face cleared up. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Expensive and need it every month. It buns when applied and with the peel I had my face was yellow for a couple of hours (but I knew this so didn't plan on doing anything). |
| Bottom line | My acne could not be controlled by any product from a store/online (Pro-Activ, Acne Free, Clearasil, Daniel Kern, Murad, etc) or from a dermatologist (Differin, cremes, antibiotics, etc). I was very cautious to try this because of the expense and no guarantee, but I went for it and after two treatments I had already seen much improvement. I just had my third treatment a week ago and my face is a lot clearer than it has been since I've had acne. |

| Pros | Face felt clean and tight. No down time, just felt like a mild sunburn. Removed superficial scars and discoloration. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Lasted a month or so. Repeated treatments required. |
| Bottom line | This is the best treatment for skin that has blackheads and whiteheads and if you're a picker. It's at Kelly Day Spa at the Mission Inn Hotel and Resort. They have many treatments and can tell what is best for you. I really like the microdermabrasion with acid peel treatment and do it every month to three months. It is not very expensive and has great results within the first day. |

| Pros | Light chemical peels work great for lighter acne scars, once your acne is under control. Obagi Blue peel works great if you have more layers done. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Make sure you stay out of the sun, but you shouldn't be tanning anyways. :P For the Obagi Blue Peel your face is blue for up to a week and it takes to weeks to completely peel. Don't want to be seen out in public! |
| Bottom line | I am an Esthetician myself. I give my self light chemical peels with resorcinol which help some but I need to constantly be doing them. For the Obagi Blue Peel, I recommend finding someone who will give you anesthesia so they are able to penetrate deeper. There is no way someone can stand the pain with 4 or more layers if you are awake. I had great results except my acne wasn't under control. So now I have to start all over again. If you are not given anesthesia and only get 1-2 layers done don't expect good results. Light chemicals peels cost from $80-300 depending on where you go. For the obagi it was about $900 with anesthesia. |

| Pros | no peeling, quick in procedure |
|---|---|
| Cons | cost, slight sting when applied |
| Bottom line | I'm african american, I went to medical spa and had two chemical peels. along with the peels I used a AHA cleanser, hydroquinone and retin-A prescribed by my doctor. altogether these products worked great in 2months my skin was almost clear. then i stopped using them because of the high price 90 for the peel, 120 for thr retin-A, 50 for the cleanser and 40 for the hydroquinone. i wish i had the money to continue because now my skin is worse then before i started. |
