Well he said I have "overprocessed skin" and it needs time to heal before he does any lasers/deep peels on me which will be around 1-2 months. I have another appointment I made a long time ago with a derm that DOES surgery nearby like 30 mins away instead of 1.5 hours away in the states. This surgeon gave me some Vitamin K cream, will this fade the marks any good? I have two options :

1) Wait the 2 months till my skin is fully healed instead of being red and shiny

2) Keep doing my glycolic peels (hetold me to stop them) and get them almost to the point where they're like almost un-noticeable, even though they're pretty small as it is.

My dad said it's up to me, help!

I would wait the 2 months till your skin is fully healed instead of being red and shiny because I wouldn't want to risk damaging or effecting the skin or results of the surgery. But I really don't know much, so I would ask someone who does;)

John dont you only have 3 red marks?

[jjproof0364]

hes an idiot, who wears make-up. anyways everyone tells him to go with option 1, but he'll probably go with the second and continue to use GA peels, and in 2 months he'll be back here saying """i have another apointment with the surgeon, what should i do....ive been using the peels, will he notice???""""

lol....true! i really wasnt that suprised when the doc said you had overprocessed skin considering all the GA peels you've been posting.

but truely i'd go with the derm cuz thats prolly what they do best and "skin care" is their main focus. g/l

Well I'm not deciding till next Friday, giving my skin 2 weeks break like it says after every 6 peels.

But it bothers me emotionally/psycologically too.

[Testosterone]

No, they mid them a bit bigger but not much, going to try to see where my mom hid my glycolic acid bottle lol. I won't burn myself and only do it for 1.5 mins

[Testosterone]

Nah, just going to take a shower now.

Just did a 1m45sec peel. (1:45)

Usually when I pat my face with cold water to take peel off it stings like fuck, (didn't sting) usually when I neutrilize with baking soda paste it stings and it just tingled for 5 seconds, I actually went through with this, it was because I used like such a thing layer of the GA.

Hehe, yeah thanks, it's actually a BIG accomplishment, It's kind of addictive, I'm going to do 2-3 more but very low and low minutes and see what goes down, I may not even have to see the surgeon in the end anyway.

[Testosterone]

what's the point? you said theyre pretty small as they are. Why risk ruining your skin further?

Well I didn't burn myself this time so it's all good. I'll do 5 more.

Next will be 3 mins,then 4, then 5, then 6, then 8, then 10 mins.

why don't you ever listen to anyone? you shouldn't ask for people to help you out when you're already set on what you're going to do.

possibly b/c it amuses you ppl? Anyway, ppl "say" they're doing this and that, how does anyone really know? I mean I can say I wash my face with pee and now my skin is like clear porcelain doesn't make it true.
