There are many facial peels advertised and i wonder why these arent just as good as going to a facialist or spa. If you recommend home peels, what concentration is safe but effective at removing hyperpigmentation and sun damage?
Answer: Facial Peels and Medical Chemical Peels There are hundreds or thousands of different types of chemical peels. Very light peels offered by a spa can improve skin texture for a very short period of time, exfoliating the skin to make it feel softer and smoother. This type of peel is very inexpensive with no downtime and limited results.

Answer: Chemical Peels at Home Any chemical peel solution that you can purchase for home use is going to provide a very light peel with minimal effectiveness. These peel solutions are very mild, which leads consumers to regard them as safe for home use. However, every chemical peel has the potential risk for complications such as pigmentation changes or scarring, and these risks are much higher when a chemical peel is performed by someone without proper training and experience in skin care and chemical peels in particular. I recommend that you seek consultation with a board-certified physician who specializes in treatment of the face in order to evaluate your particular concerns and select the treatment that will provide you with the results you desire. Best of luck!

Answer: Need assessment by skincare expert first You would really need an inperson consultation with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to get advice on which peel would work for you. The peels available at medical offices contain medical-grade ingredients that are only available for use at a doctor-supervised facility. This means that they tend to be more intense than those you find for home use. But this isn't to say that the ones at home don't work - they can but without skin knowledge it's difficult for you to choose which one is best for your skin.

Answer: At home Chemical Peels Vs. in office Chemical Peels. At home chemical peels are going to be less effective than one from a licensed professional due to the at home chemical peels having a lower percentage of active ingredient and a higher ph balance. Therefore they deliver less exfoliation and are not as strong as a in office peel and will not reduce hyperpigmentation effectively. It is always best to see a professional who can recommend the proper Chemical Peel for your skin type.

Answer: Home peels will always be less effective than medical spa grade treatments Not all peels are created equal. Home kits contain lower concentrations of acids/peeling agents. For your safety, home kits are designed to be “fool-proof” with low risk. If your goal is to effectively remove hyperpigmentation and sun damage, most likely a home peel will offer minimum to no results. Your best bet is to schedule a consultation with a medical spa. After a thorough analysis of your skin’s condition, a treatment plan will be determined. Also, plan on receiving a series of peels to achieve your desired result. Important: beware of medical grade peels being sold online. Logically, if a peel is labeled “medical grade” or “professional strength” play it safe and leave the treatment up to the medical professionals and licensed spa professionals.
