I have enlarged/scarred pores on my cheeks and on my nose. I also have a few very, very, shallow acne scars. I would love to find an alternative to laser treatments or microdermabrasion (I am prone to broken blood vessels) to help fix some of these issues. Would a series of chemical peels do the trick? Or something else?
Chemical peels, or any form of resurfacing for that matter, should not change the proportions or shape of your face in any way. This is a skin rejuvenation procedure. It may lesson lines ( wrinkles ), tighten skin and remove age spots, but in the end you should still look like you. These treatments are often working at the epidermal level of the skin unless you are specifically having a deeper chemical peel or other resurfacing treatment. When the treatment is designed to be deeper and act at the dermal level, collagen and elastin production can be achieved. There are risks to these procedures, however and they should be discussed with your treating physician prior to treatment.
or with a light/superficial peel, like glycolic or salicylic acid can you do it right away?
These can be administered with little to no prep but Retin-A is always a reasonable adjunct. Avoidance of sun prior and subsequent to the treatment is important.
I consulted a cosmetics clinic after suffering from acne scars and old acne spots. after performing fractional laser on my whole back caused severe pigmentation in the acne spots and it looks terrible. I would like to know if chemical peeling is possible for the body? (back or shoulders) to enhance my problem and get rid of the pigmented spots?
Chemical peels can remove dark spots from the body. These peels should be light peels and repeated often so as not to further damage skin of the body.
