The Price of Beauty


The things we women go through for the name of "beauty." I went to the dermatologist yesterday and had my trade mark Cindy Crawford mole removed from my neck along with a few skin tags (that come with too many birthdays) and my first chemical peel. My friend, Gina, introduced me to the idea.
The procedure took about 10 - 15 minutes. My face turned as white as a sheet of paper and my face burned a little. Nothing too bad.
The next day, my face felt a little tight and as you can see, I have some areas with some hyper pigmentation. This should last two to three days. We shall see.
I know it looks painful, but it's supposed to do this I hear. I should then have more beautiful looking skin. I'll let ya know.

You will love the outcome. I guess white girls don't suffer from the hyperpigmentation...but, I'm really happy with the outcome and have my second one scheduled!!

Helen, I applaud you for sharing pics. I thought I was seeing burns so I'm so glad you explained it...I was having second thoughts!

I can't wait to hear how you end up liking it.
