    Default Facial peels, lip injections, etc.

    Dr. 90210 has on this woman who got a chemical peel and her lips plumped up. They looked pretty good, although she said the chemical peel kinda hurt.

    Has anyone here had either of these things done? I am just curious about personal results on this kind of thing. I'm sure the show only puts their very best work out there, so I thought I'd ask on here.

    I've had Botox one time and didn't like it. I felt like my eyelids were heavy or something. But I would consider doing it again. In a world of 20-somethings, I want to look the best I can. I'm not ready for anything major, but I'd consider the chemical peel and lip thing.

    I had a little restylane injected into my upper lip. I really like it. It's very subtle. I will probably do it again when the effects wear off.

    I haven't had any kind of chemical peel, but I've had IPL done. I've done 3 out of 5 sessions so far. It's evened out my complexion a little. But good lord, it hurts. I'm not really sure if it's worth it, but I already paid so I might as well finish.

    I really want to get lip injections, they will most likely restylane. Jessica did you have any problems with lumps? and I hope you don't mind me asking how much did it cost?

    I'm really confused about the chemical peel thing...I thought that it was a one time thing but I'm learning there's multiple types and some are not one time things. I went to a medical spa this week to get a chemical peel. The lady said to get the best results you do like 4-6 sessions. She put some acid on my face and left it for 2 1/2 minutes. The goal is to leave it on there longer each time. It didn't hurt - so maybe the one on dr. 90210 was different. I really want to improve my skin tone and acne scars so I'm think i'm gonna try the 4-6 sessions of chemical peels and see how it helps... at $90 a session though I'm hoping it's not a waste! I'd be interested in hearing more from the others about chemical peels though...

    oh yeah...but after just this one chemical peel my pores seem smaller and my skin feels very clean and not oily. It also seems more even.

    There are all different levels of chemical peels. The higher levels (I think anything over 5) must be done by a doctor and some really serious ones can involve sedation beforehand.

    Lighter peels by aestheticians are great maintenance. Usually you can buy a bunch (like 6- for cheaper than paying for them singly every couple weeks.

    Make sure you're careful with your skin up to 2 weeks after your peel. Waxing and sun exposure can irritate the fresh layer of skin, so avoid getting your eyebrows done and always wear sunscreen.

    At first it was a little lumpy, but only I could feel it. My bf spent a lot of time kissing me trying to see if he could feel a difference, but he couldn't! I massage them a lot, which I think helps with the lumpiness.

    It cost $300 for 1 syringe, and I only used half of it. I really can't imagine anyone using more than 1 syringe, but apparently it happens.

    At my derm you have to buy the whole syringe, and if you dont want it all in your lips there's plenty of good places to put a filler. Never waste that good stuff! Put the rest in your nasal labial folds and you instantly look 5 years younger.

    I have also gotten restalyne in my lips and I want to get it done again soon. (It gets absorbed after about 6 months.)

    Supposedly, a 1/3 to 2/3 upper lip to lower lip ratio is the most aesthetically pleasing.

    I start IPL treatments next week in preparation for a light laser peel. (They'll put me under and I will take 5 days off work.) Was thinking of posting a progressive before and after in the picture thread.

    Well, I went to the consultation and the plastic surgeon looked me over and said he really didn't see anywhere that I needed Restalyne, unless I just really wanted it. And he said he'd do the Botox, but he really thought I could do without it also. He said I looked great just how I am. I can't believe that from a plastic surgeon! I take it as a compliment.

    But I did talk to the esthetician and I am going to get a couple of microdermabrasion treatments. I'm not entirely sure how that works, but it won't be for a week or two so I have time to reseach it.

    Anyhoo, I just wanted to post an update!
