Chemical Peel on Neck and Chest Area

Be very careful with peels to the neck and chest.  These sensative areas do not heal as well after peels as the face does.  The difference is the thickness of the skin and presence of oil glands and hair follicles that allow the face to heal quickly and completely.  This is not the case with the neck and chest. 

Use very superficial peels, such as glycolic or natural acids, and pretreat with a low concentration of Retinoic acid first (retin-A).  Whatever you do, make sure you go to a certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist for this treatment.

Chemical peels are a generic term for an exfoliative treatment precipitated by the application of a chemical, usually an acid. The ph and pKa of an acid typically predicts the level and depth of a peel.
Although chemical peels can be safely performed on the neck and chest, deep dermal peels are not indicated for this particular anatomic area.
I routinely perform chemical peels in these areas with great success.
