Answer: PCA Peel with Hydroquinone You would benefit and see results with a PCA Peel with Hydroquinone. Prior to any chemical peel it's advisable to stop use of any products that would inflame the skin i.e. AHA, Retinol. Post treatment to help even out the skin tone is also very key. By using a regimen to of the PCA C&E treatment, Pigment Reducing treatment, an SPF of 30 or higher are good products to start with as post-care. The PCA Peel done in recommended sessions would further improve your skin tone and texture as well as reducing the hyperpigmentation. PCA cosmeceuticals are also ideal for all Fitzpatrick skin types.

Answer: TCA Peel A TCA peel for someone with a darker complexion must be done by someone with training and experience. I would not recommend anyone but a physician. I have seen burns and worsening of pigment problems when this kind of peel is done by an aesthetician. In a skilled physician's hands, the correct strength of peel can be used to lift the pigment away and help even out texture. You may also consider an at-home brightening system that includes hydroquinone as a component.
