Chemical peels for brown spot in African Americans
How many peels you'd need depends on which you peel you use, the problem you are treating, how deep the pigment is and what else you are using.

A series of 5-6 glycolic acid chemical peels spaced 3-4 weeks apart is a good starting point. Your dermatologist may complement this with a good topical cream regimen for bleaching the brown spots and/or laser treatments.
