    A guy that had fenol peeling recently died in Brazil. The person who performed it didn't have any qualifications, but was a very famous beauty influencer. Please make sure that you're doing it with a certified dermatologist.

    It’s not worth the risk. My mum had it done, her face swelled up like a balloon, it was hideous. She got infected too. She has severe pain in her face ever since due to facial nerve damage caused by the treatment.
    When we called the dr who performed it, & went back to see him, the receptionist met mum outside & had her hold a towel over her head & rushed her in to a seperate room away from everyone in the waiting area. He didn’t want anyone to see how hideous mum was, otherwise he may have lost some business that day. Mum regretted doing it everyday since.

    My father was one of the first patients in the UK to have extreme dermabrasion in the late 1950's for cystic acne.
    The skin was completely scrubbed off using a 'power tool' wire brush instrument. He was then housed in an oxygen tent in isolation and fed through a straw whilst his face skin grew back.
    My grandmother vomited then passed out when she saw him. He was 14.

      My father was 1 of the patients to have “UV treatment” for cystic acne. As you can imagine.. this caused malignant melanoma in later life. Nodular cystic acne is a heredity condition within the skin. Accutane is the only treatment. Thank God for my cousins & I we had Accutane & don’t have scars like prior generations

    A phenol peel can only be done by a medical doctor and requires anesthesia, antibiotics, serious pain medications and medical monitoring. Healing time is 1-2 months, your skin color will never match your body again. You’ll never be able to be exposed to direct sunlight. But, your skin will be flawless and smooth for the rest of your life, as long as you take care of it 😊

    There was a guy in high school who had a very large acne cyst on his cheek that got worse each year, and he had extreme acne scarring. Kids were so, so cruel to him. Treated him like he wasn't even human, beyond zero compassion. I tried a few times to get to know him, but he was so skeptical of anyone's motives, and guarded, that all I could ever get were superficial, short interactions in between class periods. I could never figure out where he spent lunch. I think I wanted to show him a little compassion because the way he was treated would remind me of the abuse I went through as a little kid. I wonder what that guy is up to these days. I hope he found a good dermatologist, and figured out what was making his acne so severe. I don't know anything about acne, when I was a teenager it was thought that diet, and hormones, we're the biggest culprits. Diet makes sense to me, being allergic to what you eat regularly can cause all sorts of problems.

      Yes, i saw another commenter say that he had a friend that unalived himself because of how his scars affected him, or should I say, how the scars affected other people and in turn, treated him badly and he couldnt take it anymore. Im glad that bullying is becoming an important conversation. I can't stand seeing older movies where it was normal to show people bullying others that were different, too dark, too light, too big, too small, too smart, or creative. Such a shame. So many jokes(many racial) that were ok just 10-25 years ago didn't age well and are just in bad taste.

    I had this done when I was 18, and it worked really well for me. If you have it done, it is very important that you do not start peeling your face prematurely. Your face will turn black as the chemically burned skin starts to dry off. The skin will slowly fall of little by little. Do not be tempted to start peeling your own skin. It has to fall of on its own as it dries or else you will run the risk of creating new scars. The procedure is painful, but not unbearable.

I could tell she genuinely thought she was being helpful, but…yeah, I think you get it. Even my family often tells me to retouch my face on family pictures.

    The fact that you can get heart related complications ensues that this kind of skin treatment is coming with significant risks. Most people do not realise how important it is to take caution when attempting any cosmetic procedure and be very much aware of the benefits vs health risks. In this case, it's not just a chemical peel, it's a risky procedure that can cause permanent scarring, infection, deformity, permanent damage to your skin barrier, or in some rare cases even death, so you must tread carefully and have a responsible healthcare specialist that knows what they're doing. If you still wish to improve your appearance, you should not do so at the cost of your health. Other than that, it's good to trust a proper specialist with finding the best solution to your problem, since they will make sure to warn you about any potential health risks and give you alternatives to avoid potential complications.

      It's definitely an option that can work, but this does come with a risk. This procedure can leave you with an arrhythmia (irregular heart beat.) I wouldn't do it personally, but it's definitely an option if you're willing to take the risk.

      That is why I am saying that people should _check the provider,_ and go to a certified plastic surgery clinic. Most of the bad reputation/outcomes are from non licensed and cheap places.

    His skin looks very over-exfoliated at the end (ouch) but I guess that’s the point! I hope its healed up nicely and he’s happy with the results!

    Awesome! I had a friend who was very attractive except for her deep pitting. I knew she had significant self esteem issues. No one would have realized it unless you were very close to her. But she had tried everything available at that time with virtually no result. This would have been a heaven sent for her.
