Chemical Peel for Pigmentation from Squeezing Pimples?
I have hyperpigmentation from squeezing pimples on my face and I want to get rid of the spots. Would a chemical peel help? I don't have acne, just pimples that come sometimes.

Chemical Peels for pimples
Chemical peels are great options to clear up hyperpigmentation. If it is superficial hyperpigmentation then Jessner peels are a nice solution to this challenge because the salicylic in the solution also help to keep your skin clear, so it's a 2-fold treatment. The peels should be done in a series, 2-3 weeks apart, and you can also discuss being on a skin lightening regimen at home to maintain your results (like 4% Hydroquinone, or Kojic Acid)...

A few Jessner's peels do great for the hyperpigmentation from acne
Jessner's 14% chemical peels do great for post inflamatory hyperpigmentation from acne. Usually you do 1 every 2 weeks for a series of 3-4 @ $175 each. Wear a sunscreen and use a mild cortisone lotion if you become red or irritated and then do 1 every 3-4 months forever to keep your skin clear and wrinkle free.

Chemical Peels for Hyperpigmentation
Hi Cynthia. Chemical peels could definitely help improve the hyperpigmentation. It will also help with your pimples. I suggest a series of 4 peels and them maintenance peels every 3-4 months.
