Better to Get a Peel on Untanned Skin Vs Skin That is Very Tan?

I am considering getting a laser peel, or a chemical peel on my face. I had a sample of a 20 micron lasering done on my hand to see what it is like. The area just turned slightly red for a day and now, 3 days later, it just looks like skin that received a slight sunburn, but is now turning tan. It doesn't look like it will peel at all! I do have a lot of tanning and sun damage on my hands, so could it be that that skin there is tougher? Do I need a stronger one?
