If anyone says the Green Peel doesn’t work it is only because they are NOT EXPERIENCED…I have struggled with a dermatologist for years and if it wasn’t for the use of green peels, my skin would still look miserable…PLEASE GET YOURSELF PROPER TRAINING!

I am the owner of a small beauty salon and I worked in the last 15 years of skkin car with all kind of peelings form chemical to microdermoabrasion to diamonds peel.

THE GREEN PEEL IS FANTASTIC, and what makes it special is that it works in a different way for every skin type.
The problem is who does it and the type of consultation that is given with it.
Is important to give a PROPER CONSULTATION to meet and understand client’s expectations.
Green peel, PROPERLY done is the most effective save treatment for every skin poroblem.(BUT NOT FOR PIGMENTATION, DOESN T WORK ON PIGMENTATIONS) So I always leave this clear with my clients.
Some times a skin needs more then one some time it doesn t .
Any way is reductive to think that if something didn t work for you in one session then it doesn t work in general for every one .

Just finished my second green peel!, currently on the fourth day. I had the “classic” green peel for intense rejuvenation. Black female suffering from hyperpigmentation for almost 20 years on my chin and neck. For the first time I can look forward to leaving the house without makeup, which before the green peel, you couldn’t pay me to do. I did experienced slight pigmentation on my cheeks after the first peel, but that occured because my skin always heals darker but it cleared very soon after. I use a daily skin product with hydroquinine 4% which will eventually eliminate any minimal sign of darkening skin. The peel is uncomfortable, but at my Med Spa they told me to follow a strcit diet 5 days before the peel to detox my body and to take a pain pill before. TRUST! it makes all the difference in the world! I do believe this peel is great if your skin needs serious rejuvenation. A professional consultation and medical reviews should be your guide towards the right decision, I’m a professional nurse and because it worked on me it does not meal it will on you as well but at least consider it, research it and consult on it. The products that are used during the peeling process are not a waste of time and they were included in the price of the peel, not extra cost. For total results I might need 4 treatments, although I might just need another “classic” and a “freshen up” one if the results after my second one are as amazing as it already looks, while peaking through the dead sking that is currently hanging from my face, Wierd!!! but not painful.
I waited 5 weeks in between each, in case you were wondering.

Hi All,
I just had A Green Peel done last Thursday at “the Metamorphosis Spa” in NYC for $500 & I probably must be one of the few people with super tough skin unless they used water on my skin for peel because I have had NO PAIN, ITCHING AND “NO PEELING SKIN AT ALL” & today is day 4. I am going back tomorrow for my final cleansing massage. I did call the spa to speak with the manager to tell her that the peel has probably not worked since my skin was not peeling & she told me it was alright & that not everyone’s skin peels & that she herself has had 3 & her skin never peeled even once…SOME ONE TELL ME THAT IT’S TRUE !!!
I have a medium skin tone & wanted to get this for Hyper pigmentation I developed (after taking the Yasmin pill) & for occassional scars & blemishes. Right now I have 2 big ugly breakouts, red & flaring the kind I never get & so I’m not using that blemish balm today … despite all that above I can’t lie that the rest of my skin looks more even toned or my mirrors are lying :P
FOR ALL THOSE WITH ADULT ACNE please try AZELAIC ACID CREAM; I love it over any other acne product. I have been using it off & on for years to keep my breakouts under control that I get before my periods. Nothing else has ever come close & yes you do need a prescription for it & only use it at night. And please please use a good sunscreen during the day.
If my skin gets better & better… I will post again so you all know a little bit more than I did :)

These posts look old..but I just found them as going to get another green peel…
Personally I had good results with mine. I had a series of 3 but could’ve stopped at 2.
I have hyperpigmentation and some acne, but not enough to say I do. I have dark skin…
The peels were painful, and you do peel within a few days. But if you work and plan it right, you could have your treatment done on a Thursday, so that by Friday night when it starts to peel you will be at home on the weekend. By Sunday you will have completely peeled and you will notice results. My skin felt softer, I noticed the pigmentation was not as dark and even smooths out the wrinkles. HOWEVER, you do need to stay out of the sun and always were sunscreen because if you don’t do it, it’s more than likely going to return as it has for me…about a year or so later. Make sure the gal who does your treatment has done a few before and knows what she’s doing. Ask for 1 treatment to start. Don’t buy a whole package. Test it and see how it goes. Also, cleanse your body. Drink lots of water and eat healthy foods. Try to cleanse prior to the peel. This way if you usually have breakouts they won’t happen during your peel.
I think they are worth it. I had great results.

im based in england. i had a green peel about 4 months ago (my 2nd in the last 12 monts) – and its left me with with a horrid red patch of what looks like whip marks on the patch of skin between the chin and cheek – its quite depressing – it cos me £120 and i got a refund of 80 – though i really should have got a full refund – its disgusting and its horrid to be left with such an awful red patch – the red patch is also very dry – looks a bit like stretch marks – im rather gutted to be honest….! i would suggest dont get one done

I’ve read all these posts and am wondering if those who had poor results had pre-peel skin care for at least 3-4 weeks and facials if their skin was in rotten shape. I love peels and have had many conversations with many peo about them, and have found several things in the conversations. Those who are unhappy either have a lousy esthetician or, if they have a good one, they have not followed advice.
Lousy estheticians do not prepare the skin of their clients, sell-sell-sell peels to peo that should not have them, and then do it wrong. Lousy clients don’t do what they are told, or are not told what to expect. Or, they just don’t listen. Good estheticians prepare the skin, perform the peel correctly, and will not do one on a client who will not do their part, or should not have one. Education is their mantra, also. I love those as they are my skin’s friend. But of course, I listen, also. As for pain, we are all different, no one can say what another person will feel. I must have a high pain threshold because I always expect the worst, but never get it. I always use the products recommended. It seems to work out better that way. But of course, I do not have acne and am allergic to nothing!
One more thing: I wouldn’t use internet peels. Who knows what is in them? And, where will they be when my face falls off?! Nope. I want to be able to yell at the person who did it if that happens. LOUD. But I have had great estheticians and peels thus far. Lucky me.

I just had a green peel last week and I”m THRILLED with the results. It did exactly what was promised, removed the dead awful skin from the top layer or two and is making my skin GLOW. Yes, there was (and still is) peeling and it isn’t attractive, but it’s looking like it did 5 years ago.
You can wash your face (or body) with water 3 days after the treatment. I was given a sample of all the products I was to be using after the treatment, along with a moisturing face cream designed for the peel that you can use immediately after.
Yes, there was pain during the treatment, but no more than a laser treatment. My esthetician gave me a great topical anasethic that helped big time.
I’ve received more compliements in the last 2 days for my skin than I ever have before!

I’m going back this coming Friday for round two of treatment, but that doesn’t include another peel, it’s actually an oxygen facial to get my skin looking even more healthy.

I had two major Green Peels which were great – they did not substantially reduce the scarring but did reduce flatten them out a little – and then opted to have the mini Green Peel twice a year. It has reduced my acne scarring in conjunction with microdermabrasion. I also use the sauna and scrub wall at my local gym 3x week and that has rejuvenated my skin very well, and look healty. My scars are not as bad as other people’s but for more serious scar reduction however, I would probably use Fraxel laser or similar. Green Peel is more of a light refresher in my opinion, in conjunction with other treatments.
