Chemical Peel on Neck and Chest Area Can I get a chemical peel on my neck and chest?

A: The neck and chest are much more sensitive areas for peels, be careful.

Chemical peels carefully administered by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon can be helpful for neck and chest skin aging and sun damage, but the skin in those areas is surprisingly much more sensitive to damage than the face. Superficial peels gently supervised, and repeated over time, can accumulate improvement, but ongoing diligent sun protection is key to the success of this treatment. Lasers and light-based treatments chosen carefully may be a better choice in this area.

Make sure to only consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for treatments in these sensitive areas.

Do You Have to Stop Retin A Before Using a 40-55% Lactic Acid Peel? Using Retin A 0.5% would I have to stop using for a few days before the lactic peel?

A: Yes, stop all retinoids before any skin procedure!

It is very important to stop Retin-A, retinol, retinaldehyde, or any other version of a topical retinoid before a chemical peel, laser or light based treatment, or even a facial waxing. Even some "cosmetic facials" may cause a problem during retnioid use. Retinoids make the skin cells much more sensitive to injury and must not be active in the area during these treatments.

Ask your board-certified dermatologist about the use of any topical creams (and oral retinoids including isotretinoin (Accutane) or its relatives) before proceeding with any other treatment, just in case.

	“Chemical Peels Were a Big Waste of Money” I have hyperpigmentation from years of back acne and I am Indian American so I have brown skin. I went to this group b/c they were "experts" with ethnic skin. They told me the peels would definitely help and even though I also had hypertrophic (raised scars) they said it should work. So they had a contract set at 6 peels for $2400 and they said probably 8 peels would be best and... more
	“Impressed by the Results” I had my medium peel done by my plastic surgeon a few months after having done an upper eyelid lift and rhinoplasty, all of which i'd also recommend. It was a bit uncomfortable but not painful. It looked like a mild sunburn right after. I am 41 and have fair skin with some wrinkles and sun damage spots. A couple of days after the peel, my skin began to peel. It took about 7-9 days for it to... more
	“The LONGEST Peel Ever!! But Was All...” I was very excited to start my at home TCA 12% peel. Initially, I read and re-read the directions and blogs concerning the dangers of a peel. At the end, I was convinced that this would be in my best interest to at least experience. The one and only warning I wish they really underlined and that I wish to for you is that you must have some down time [NO WORK OR OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES] while... more
	“Chemical Peel and NOTHING Has Changed” I had a combination TCA peel (12.5% TCA) two weeks ago and hate the results. Wait, let me rephrase: I hate the LACK of results! My skin is typical of someone in her mid-40s and my plastic surgeon recommended a chemical peel as a good way to get rid of fine lines and light wrinkles. He said the procedure would be easier than anything he could do for me, and they have a health spa on site... more
