I am from the time when parents only put Zinc Oxide on our noses before spending a day in the San Diego sun. I am covered in spots and freckles that occasionally turn out to be naughty! What laser and or peel goes deep enough to remove them? My dcollet is my main concern.
I have acne prone skins and have been really struggling to keep it under control. It was suggested I used a chemical exfoliate, to get rid of dark spots. However was unsure whether it would remove freckles as well. I have used one a few times, will it permanently remove my freckles. Furthermore, will any type of acid do the same thing, for example salicylic acid.
I have some acne and acne marks on my face , and also have freckles. I truly love my freckles, plus theyre like the only thing I like about my face and I really would not like to get rid of them. Would getting a chemical peel get rid of my freckles? If so, is there a way I could get a chemical peel with out getting rid of them?
I am confused about how it works. Do I have to keep getting chemical peels regularly for the rest of my life to maintain results or is it a one of 3 and done situation after the sessions? Can you see the tan under the freckles afterwards? Will they come back if I tan my face much longer after the peel?
Hi all, I have very large dark spots (my derm referred to them as solar lentigo) on my face they look like freckles and are mainly concentrated on one side of my face. I am of south Asian heritage and a 4 on the Fitzpatrick scale Im booked in for a cosmelan peel but from research and looking at before & afters Im not sure if this will get rid of my freckles. Im also worried about rebound pigmentation. Is cosmelan good or better treatments out there?
My skin type is III to IV. I have been using it for around 2 weeks continuous but could only see a 30 %improvement overall. I now consider taking Dermamelan by mesoestetic. Is it safe as I have been using neostrata or do I need to consider a gap before taking Dermamelan?What are the expected side effects or precautions to consider?
I have fair skin, quite pale, with rosy cheeks and freckles scattered across my cheeks and nose, as well as on my forehead. Although I don't have anything close to acne, because my skin is so fair, any and all pimple scars are very prominent. I was hoping that perhaps a gentle chemical peel could maybe lighten those scars and uncover firmer, clearer skin, without necessarily altering my pigment or lightening my freckles. I am not very educated on this subject and I would really like some tips. Thank you!!
Initially red and swollen, then sunspots, freckles and scars are very dark, skin is brown and tender. Doctor did a poor job of communicating to me what I should expect and I am now very anxious. He did not neutralize (was he supposed to?) sent me out of the office while my skin was still frosting. I went home and washed my face, but worried since my skin felt hot and burning on the 30 minute drive home and has turned very dark brown. I went to a very reputable surgeon. what else should I expect?
