Chemical Peel and Microdermabrasion

[wishkamar]

Thanks a lot PS for such a detailed explanation.

So the plan is to get on accutane, as per doc’s suggestion, from tomorrow INSHALLAH and a month from tomorrow, I’ll see doc again for my monthly blood check up and other tests and he’ll send me to a derma to take care of the scarring. Yeah, in Canada, you gotta go to specialists through your family doc or else you’ll be paying huge bucks.

I do cleanse and moisturize and it’s the sunscreen I gotta pay attention to.

to everyone for being very helpful!

Wish, its hard to describe but I will do my best.

The worst part of my acne - meaning the wierd bumps and scarring that occurred - was taken care of by the peels. My scars are almost gone now. This doesnt prevent acne from happening at all though.

Basically, it gives you a fresh clean slate to start all over again.

If you’re prone to breakouts…look at the stuff you’re using on your face and what you’re putting into your body.

Cleanser: please keep it gentle, soap free, oil free, fragrance free! Neutrogena makes such a good one…extra-extra gentle cleanser. Having acne doesnt mean you need something stronger!

Moisturizer: I use a gel by Glytol that is (again) fragrance free, oil free, blah blah free, etc.

Sunscreen: SPF 40 by Clinique. Gina is right ladies…sunscreen is the best thing you can do for your skin.

If you have acne…forget fast food, soda/pop, fried foods and embrace fruit, vegetables, home cooked food and tons of water.

You will see results once you make these changes.
