As with any chemical peel, there are complications that you should be aware of.  These complications largely depend on two factors:

  • The depth of a peel
  • The patient's skin type and complexion

Complications of a peel include, but are not limited to:

  • Discoloration
  • Scarring
  • Prolonged healing
  • Uneven skin color
  • Herpetic outbreak

In most cases, however, proper planning and adherence to a strict protocol, like that observed at our Kare Skin Health Clinic, deters from a high complication rate.
