“Too many chemical peels, is it a bad thing? i've had 3 done in 3 months.”
Chemical peel: Worth it
Cost: $100
Pain: Mild
Review of Chemical peel:Pain: Mild
Chemical peel satisfaction: Very good
I decided to have the chemical peel done because I was told by a medical spa it is a great procedure to do at my age (26) to improve my skin, making it firmer, correcting the pigmentation and improving wrinkles.
So, I have tried it 3 times in 3 months and this 3rd time, my skin feels like it burns a bit when I put moisturizing lotion on and my skin is peeling a ton now, more so than the other 2 times.
Is it bad to get too many chemical peels? I do feel like it is making my skin have a more natural glow to it and more radiance. That is about it though. Any suggestions or advice would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Light chemical peels do great for the skin and can be done monthly for 6-8 times without any problems. Trust your doc and you will be fine. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD
