Chemical Peels...

Has anyone ever had one?
Is it worth the money?
Is it very harsh?
I have a few dark areas/scars on my face, will it help?

Any info at all would help!

TIA!

I get chemical peels from my dermatologist every 2 weeks. It is just my $12 copay. It is worth the money! It is not too harsh (a little stinging at the time, redness a day or so after). It definitely helps scars and dark areas, but you need it done more than once. FM me for my Dr. info, he is mid-Suffolk. Excellent dr. Never a wait. Love chemical peels.

Yeah, I have Empire, and I have no idea how it is covered! I am a little skeptical as to whether it is all legit how I get it covered, which is why I didn't post my dr.'s info. But my mom gets them every month too (also on Empire).

Wow...that is a little odd...in my derm office there are signs posted everywhere that say peels aren't covered by insurance...any insurance.

Hmmm...

And that is interesting that you go every 2 weeks...I don't know why I was under the impression that it was like a 1 time deal...or at least once in a while.

Thanks for the info!

Sometimes I go every 3 weeks, but it is definitely a gradual improvement. I didn't notice a great deal after the first time, but over the course of 4 mos. or so it is definitely better. Maybe some doctors use a much more powerful chemical? I wouldn't want much more though, because even this kind of stings.

Nov04 - can you fm me your doctors info.? I have Aetna and after Jan. 1st, I will be under Oxford..I'm wondering if they take it???

You have FM!

I had peels done by Dr. Greenberg in woodbury - one every month - Obagi peels. Insurance did not cover. It was $150 per peel. My skin definitely felt and looked better.

But now I use the Loreal MicroDermadrasion at home kit - $23 - AWESOME!
And there is a $3.00 coupon this week :)

There is an at home kit??? I have heard that name before but I guess just on commercials and I never thought twice about it. Please share! What do you have to do? Does it help with dark spots?
