A Cautionary Tale

Akothee revealed that she had been dealing with hormonal imbalances, which caused frequent breakouts on her face. Feeling uncomfortable with the situation, she sought advice, and someone recommended trying a chemical peel. However, the procedure did not go as expected, leaving her skin severely damaged.

Recalling the incident, Akothee shared, “Someone recommended a chemical peel, and I decided to try it. But instead of healing my skin, it left it burnt and dry. I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror without feeling frustrated.”

Her partner, Nelly, was the first to notice the change. “Babe, what’s going on with your skin? It looks burnt and dry,” he asked, clearly concerned about her appearance. At first, Akothee assured him that the damage was temporary and would heal in a few days. However, as time passed, it became evident that the peel had caused more harm than good.

“When my makeup artist, Ann, saw my face, she was shocked. She said, ‘Mom, what the hell is going on with your face?’ That’s when I realized the damage was serious,” Akothee said.

Struggles to Reach the Clinic

In an effort to resolve the issue, Akothee tried reaching out to the clinic that had performed the peel. However, her calls and messages went unanswered. Feeling frustrated and abandoned by the clinic, she turned to her trusted skincare products for help.

“Nelly was so upset that he threw away all the products they had recommended and went back to buying the usual ones I was comfortable with,” Akothee shared.

Recovery and Lessons Learned

Thankfully, within a month, Akothee’s skin began to heal and return to its normal, smooth texture. Looking back on the ordeal, she urged her followers to be cautious about trying new beauty treatments and trends.

“Ladies, be very cautious when it comes to your body. Not all of these new trends are good for you.Some can be harmful,” she warned.

Akothee’s story serves as a reminder to carefully research and consider the potential risks of any beauty treatments before committing. While she eventually recovered, the experience was a wake-up call for the singer. As beauty trends continue to evolve, Akothee advises women to prioritize their health and safety above all else.

Brief Description of Chemical Peel

A chemical peel is a procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. The skin that grows back is smoother. With a light or medium peel, you may need to undergo the procedure more than once to get the desired results.

Chemical peels treat wrinkles, discolored skin, and scars—usually on the face. You can perform them alone or combine them with other cosmetic procedures. Additionally, you can choose from different depths, ranging from light to deep.Deeper chemical peels offer more-dramatic results but also take longer to recover from.
