Glycolic peel for chest acne and scars...?

i had microderms on my face and chest, but i broke out! especially my chest. i have lots of acne and scars now, and by lots i mean lots, no exxageration... the room and the aesthetician are clean, as far as my observation is concerned. my aesthetician said i should try glycolic peel next time. im going to attend a wedding in a month, so i think i will only get to have 1 session of this peel before the wedding. does anybody know if glycolic peel will help me reduce the acne and scars in just a short time and in just 1 peel?Glycolic peel for chest acne and scars...?
You can use Accutane... if you don't care about your liver and whether it continues to work or not.





Glycolic peels are fine for occasional use, but if you over-use them they can actually prematurely age your skin.





If you want to do something that will help lesions heal faster, ask your esthetician to use the pinpoint high frequency electrode on them. About 30 seconds per lesion really speeds healing. If you have too many to pinpoint individually, your esthetician can use the mushroom electrode.





I also recommend you do enzymatic peels. They are safer than 20% glycolic (for frequent use) and just as effective. They also help reduce inflammation and speed healing of any lesions. A great peel to use is powdered green papaya (papain enzyme) or bromelain (from capsules).





I have had tremendous success with preventing/treating acne with these proteolytic enzymes. Enzymes like bromelain are cheap and easy to find just about anywhere (TwinLabs is a good brand that is widely distributed) and the green papaya powder can be found online.





You will also want to think about what is CAUSING your acne, and what you can do to address it. Many times it is more about what's going on inside your body or with your diet that is the cause, not poor hygiene or bad skin care products.





More than likely you are sensitive to gluten and soy, and perhaps some other common food allergens as well. I personally am sensitive to gluten and will break out like crazy within a few days of a significant exposure.





Give it some thought, and try the enzymes... they work wonders!








Good Luck!
