Chemical peels on the chest

Suzanne Kim Doud Galli, MD, PhD, FACS answers: Can chemical peels be done on the neck and chest areas?

Can I get a chemical peel on my neck and chest?

Although I typically avoid the neck during chemical peels, the skin on the chest can be treated either with glycolic acid or a lower percentage TCA peel. Both areas are sensitive and a product like Retin-A can be used on the neck and chest a few times a week, as well. Obagi has developed a specific product for the chest area to treat dark spots and the wrinkles which can result from sun damage.
