Question:
I am a 32 year old mother with rough skin and uneven pigmentation on my face. Will a light chemical peel treatment, using glycolic or salicylic acid, fix my skin problems and will I need multiple treatments? Answer:
In my experience, glycolics or salicylic acids do not penetrate deep enough to remove the pigmentation or significantly rough skin. Those are considered light peels. I prefer a medium depth peel using TCA (tricarboxylic acid). This will remove most of the pigmentation in most patients, but the peel can be repeated after approximately 3-4 months. Down time is about two weeks, but makeup can be applied after 10-14 days. |
