This is the first blog post I will be posting after getting a chemical peel. The chemical peel I chose to do was the ViPeel by the famous Dr. A.F. Kalil. Living in South Florida, I am lucky enough to have met this famous skin care expert and become friendly with him.
So yesterday I did this famous chemical peel that has been getting all sorts of media attention. Wow, what a procedure. I always knew of the power of chemical peels, but never had one done of this nature. Dr. Kalil does sell his famous ViPeel to several other Doctors in a network he has created, and some people sell it for up to $1,000. Luckily, being local and having a relationship with one of his to estheticians, I was given a good price in hopes of many more peels.
The peel actually smells quite funny. The face stings after a while. But, at the end of the day it's not very painful. I've used many wrinkle treatments such as botox and other procedures that are much more painful.
I left with my skin feeling tight and pulled, almost like I was in the tanning bed or outside in the sun too long. It's not uncomfortable, but I have to say the shine is great. It's like none other. I was told days one and two are the best the skin will look, and then by day three I will see some skin falling off little by little. If this is good, I can't wait to see myself next week.
Before bedtime I had to apply a dabbing of a pad that is medicated with different stuff, in order to treat the area. However, I can't use my top wrinkle cream for now, not until next week. I am stuck with just moisturizers, which I guess is ok but I am used to using all of my products.
So, day one was easy. Hopefully tomorrow I can wake up and feel and see a difference. While I am not looking forward to the peeling process, I am looking forward to my new look next week as I look in the mirror. I did have some red spots, which were called some fancy name that I can't recall, that are seemingly vanishing. I am overall quite excited for this procedure and can't wait to see the "new me."
Will have an update tomorrow and post what happened today as I keep updating the blog to talk about my chemical peel!
