I've had mthly peels (glycolic)for some yrs via facialist, but tend to have occasional bad acne flare up. The last one ~ 6mnths ago was really bad, but breakouts have since stopped with RX remedies from my Dr. Now Dr. recommends I do a B-Liftx (1st time) to clear the hyperpigm residual + other benefits for my oily/acne prone skin. Facialist thinks not suitable for black skin & could even damage my inherent protection against UV. I just want to make a informed decision, & avoid unnecessary risk
This peel is addressing both of the problems you mention. There is no contraindication for dark skin. It can work wonders for acne. If you are on other acne medications make sure whoever is performing the peel is aware of all the topical and oral medications I think you should seek your advice from one source. You can decide who you think would be the better judge, someone with years of training or someone who may or may not have any training at all.
Chemical peels will not improve facial redness. Lasers or Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatments are necerssary to improve facial redness. There are a variety of peels that can improve the texture (smoothness) of the skin, but an evaluation would be necessary to see which peel would be best for you.
I have freckles and very sensitive skin. I have been doing peels for a year. Will these peels damage sensitive skin?
Having sensitive skin does not preclude you from getting chemical peels. There chemical peel lines that are especially formulated for patients with very sensitive skin. I would recommend that you under the care of a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon and that you do not go to your local salon to have these procedures performed. If you do have an issue you want the best of care.
