What Is The Risk Of Scarring After Peeling Flaky Skin Following Micropeel Procedure?

Hello,



I had a micro peel on Monday and my skin has developed redness, flaking, dryness (all normal and expected). However, I peeled some of the flaking and dry skin off (wasn't supposed to) which revealed a pink layer in some areas. I am worried about scarring from this. I have researched and seen that it is normal for the under layer to be pink, so not sure if I will scar but am concerned because I probably shouldn't have peeled the skin. What is the risk for scarring..should I be worried?



Thanks,

Melanie
