I've gone to a dermatologist, and they did a biopsy on my chest. They said I had hyperpigmentation. I tried expensive bleach creams, microdermabrasion, vitamin C serums and nothing seems to lighten it. I also have some mild acne and acne scarring in that area. It also gets red and itchy occasionally, what kind of chemical peel would work best to fade this?
Answer: Recommend doing Cosmelan peel to help with this pigmentations. Combine with melarase creams Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Answer: A series of chemical peels is a good option for addressing hyperpigmentation. Without having examined you, it’s difficult to say for sure

Answer: What kind of chemical peel would be best for my chest? Thanks for your question. I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing laser treatments. A combination of IPL and Fractionl C02 may provide you with better results. Best of luck.

Answer: A Series Of Superficial Chemical Peels Can Be Helpful For Improving The Tone & Texture Of The Decolletage I am not surprised that the treatments you have tried have not been successful. Topical creams have the problem of achieving sufficient penetration. Many OTC topical cosmeceutical do not penetrate sufficiently to be effective. And even the at-home use of prescription strength bleaching creams profit more when combined with in-office treatments. In the old days, we referred to microdermabrasion as epidermabrasion, i.e. the kind of very superficial abrasion that might be achieved by the vigorous use of a Buf Puf, Loofah, or even a rough wash cloth. So, I am again hardly surprised by its lack of efficacy in your case.A series of in-office superficial chemical peels can be employed. Peeling agents include full-strength glycolic acid, Jessner's solution, low concentration TCA, and high concentration salicylic acid. I often use a combination of these agents, applying Jessners or TCA to more resistant dyspigmentation and glycolic to the surrounding skin for blending. Typically six to eight peeling sessions, spaced at two to four week intervals are required to achieve maximum effect. Fractional microneedle resurfacing (aka medical microneedling, dermal rolling, skin needling) is an alternative approach or one that may even be alternated with the above. Best to consult with a board certified aesthetic physician to determine which treatment or combination of treatments are most suited to you . Best of luck
