Which is a better treatment for acne scars?Glycolic Peel vs. Microdermabrasion?
Probably Microdermabrasion as it tends to help remove a layer of skin and the medical version can be more aggressive than Glycolic peels. There are providers that offer Microdermabrasion in conjunction with various peels to maximize the result of the treatments. There are also laser options out there than can help with ACNE scars.Glycolic Peel vs. Microdermabrasion?
The most salient difference between chemical peels and microdermabrasion is that microdermabrasion is a non-chemical procedure, and attacks imperfections by actually “sanding” flaws from the skin surface. While treatment plans for microdermabrasion and mild chemical peels like glycolic acid (AHA) chemical peels are similar, with up to eight procedures repeated at one to two week intervals, more advanced chemical peels require only one session. However, deep chemical peels like the phenol peel also require much more recovery time than microdermabrasion and the more mild peels. Also unlike microdermabrasion, deep chemical peels change the actual pigmentation of the skin through bleaching. Because of this, microdermabrasion is more suitable for patients with naturally darker complexions.
The benefits and drawbacks of laser resurfacing vs chemical peels are slightly more difficult to ascertain, due to the relatively new nature of the laser resurfacing procedure. However, recent research has shown that on a microscopic level, the improvement to patients’ skin after laser skin resurfacing was essentially equivalent to that seen with chemical peels and microdermabrasion. Lasers do allow doctors to target specific flaws and imperfections with much more precision than chemical peels, and there is no risk of a change of pigmentation with laser treatments as there is with the more aggressive chemical peels.
Chemical facial peels, microdermabrasion, and laser skin resurfacing are all similar in that they work to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and other imperfections on the surface of the skin. However, there are important differences between these procedures which patients must discuss with their doctors in order to determine which procedure will best suit their individual needs.
I have had both multiple times. A good glycolic peel will make you do just that...peel. You will peel (as if you had a bad sunburn) around 2 days after the procedure. The peeling will last about 2-3 days. Picking at the peeling skin may cause scarring, so it is recommended to cut off the skin with manicure scissors.
Let's be honest, no matter which way you go it will be painful. I prefer the peel because it is all done at once and they soothe your face afterward. The microderm feels like a cat licking your face SEVERAL times. The applicator is only the size of a sharpie at best, so it takes several strokes to do an area. A good microderm will have them going over the same spot 3 times. Afterward you feel raw for the next 2 days. You do not want to put make up on or anything. But you look good!

YES! Depending on the strength, you can use it daily. The lower percentages 1-30%. The higher spa type at 50-70% should be used less frequently. Every other or third day. Your skin will tell you how often is too much.Do puppies lose their

Questions about glycolic peel!?
I have some questions about glycolic acid peels, what level is best? what is the best place to get one done ? is a beauty school type place ok do they do good ones? how many do you need to see results from damaged acne skin with some fine wrinkles ? very dry from the products i used at the moment.... but normally oilyQuestions about glycolic peel!?
There are two grades of glycolic peels, an Aesthetician version and a Medical version. In addition, some Aesthetician's can do medical version if they have physician oversight.
The best is dependent on your conditions. I would not get it done at a beauty school. I have seen great MD's and bad MD's. I have also seen great Aestheticians and bad Aestheticians.
Go to a couple of complimentary consultations and get a professionals opinion. The attached site only lists aestheticians and MD's who are certified and have received positive survey resulsts from previous clients.
Good luck.Questions about glycolic peel!?
i had a few sessions of glycolic peel years ago at a dermatologist. she did that once a week to clear up my skin. i think it's a high percentage of the glycolic acid, because it stings when applied. after 2 days, my face started peeling. the skin crust up and falls. i think i did 4 sessions of it. my acne problem didn't went away though. what a waste of money. it didn't came cheap.
dermatologists should be the only ones performing the glycolic peel. if you want to do it yourself you could get products with glycolic acid. I use one that i bought from a medspa and it works pretty well. the first day there was a lot of irritation and redness, but now i use it every other night after i wash my face. i think the best thing for the acne is benzoyl peroxide scrub with microbeads. they exfoliate the skin. so do that in the morning and apply a collagen serum to your skin. Skinstore.com has some great products but they are expensive. then in the evening wash with a mild cleanser and use a glycolic cell regeneration all over the skin. you will be amazed at the results.
otherwise, i would suggest going to a dermatologist. they are the best people to go to with problems and a beauty school could end up doing more harm than good.
