It's been suggested that I get one (or two or three) of the SkinMedica vitalize peels for my face. I've been on some strong medication but the black, acne scars haven't budged a bit so now there's the chemical peel....

I know you need 2-3 peels to see some dramatic results but since they're not cheap (my derm said $220 per peel but I've seen it advertised for $125 so I'm not sure what I'm missing here), I wanted to see if anyone's had them done and if they recommend them.
 
You could buy them yourself online. That's what I do. Derms & salons charge way too much for those peels that don't deliver promising results. Deep, semi-deep and light peels can be found for decent prices, I buy mine anywhere from $10-70 and I can usually get around 10-20 peels from them. There's all kinRAB of different ones with random percentages, you need to find which one would suit you best. It's a way better deal doing it yourself at home instead of paying hundreRAB for only one. They work too, just find an authentic, reliable company who knows what they're selling.
 
What were the results for you? Did you see a difference in your face? The purpose of the peels for me is to get rid of the dark spots. Did you have that problem?
 
Pa43 - to answer your questions, yes they work incredibly well. It always gets rid of red marks on my cheeks after only 5 or 6 applications, this one mark I got from a cyst about a week ago just totally peeled right off after 4 days of using the peel, it was incredible because I thought I'd have a hard time getting rid of it, it was so dark! but the good thing is about it..is that you get a lot of peels from the bottle, not just one like you do at a derms office. Problem with me is that I still get pimples here and there, which then leave red marks so I have to keep using the peels after. If I didn't get pimples, my complexion would be perfect right now. If you go for it, just make sure the peels are deep enough to shed those marks off. Someone here mentioned you can get them from perfect complexion by a woman named Julie, which I do. She specially makes these peels in her labs to give the best possible peel available, affordable and most effective without irritation of down time. You could read about her and then make your decision on what kind of money you want to put out. She's got a lot of info on copy-cats who try to re-invent her products.....

Good luck on your decision.
 
Is Julie in Boston? I did a search and found a woman named Julie who owns a salon in Boston? I'm in Philly so that wouldn't work. But in terms of doing the peel yourself... you feel that the instructions are easy enough to follow? I jst wouldn't want to mix the wrong amount in and burn my face! I don't mind doing it at home, I just want to know how easy it is. Thanks!
 
I forget where she lives. Her last name is Robins. She develops the peels so that they are ready to use straight from the bottle, so no mixing required. The instructions are good, she provides photos and stuff during and after the peels. It's pretty easy, doesn't hurt or sting like all the rest do. There are several peels offered, ones of light applications, semi-deep, deep, and the deepest for ice pick scars and such but it's recommended you get a light-semi-deep first to get an idea of what it's like, oh and you get some free full-size samples to try too. I've got samples galore that I haven't tried yet but so far the products are great especially for red marks and scars. The prices are amazing for the amount you get.
