I have red marks on my face that look like acne, but the skin over the mark is smooth (not a bump ) like pimples. I have gotten chemical peels before to lighten some of this scaring , however it did take 6 peels to see a noticeable difference. My hormones went crazy because I got off birth control, and I ended up right back where I started. This time, I've stuck with the regiment of Acanya Gel in the morning, and Retin A at night. While this helped clear my face, once again I am left with red marks. My dermatologist suggested I do a VI Acne Peel. I have to say, it was a much different process than my previous peels, so I have high expectations. Well needless to say, under my peeling skin and the places that are already peeled, I can still see very clearly my dark and red marks. Does it get better over next few days after the peel? I'm so bummed , I was really hopping I would see better results :(
