Yes. Chemical Peels are a great for treating hyper-pigmentation. There are several types of chemical peels with different and multiple chemicals in them. Chemical peels vary in depth and strength as well. Skin Medica's Vitalize peel uses salicylic, lactic, and resorcinol. All are great to lighten pigmentation. Glycolic acid peels are effective as well. Multiple peels are needed for maximum results. Usually peels in a series of 3-6 peels is standard. It is always important to consult a professional for the appropriate skin treatment for your skin type.
Hyperpigmentation of any kind needs a combination approach of peels like Cosmelan; lasers like Clear + Brilliant, Aerolase or Laser Genesis; radiofrequency like Venus Viva; and constant skin care and sun protection. Bimonthly facials with SilkPeel DermalInfusion are essential to hydrate, exfoliate and infuse vitamins and antioxidants into the skin. If you have acne you can do additional treatments and peels to get more improvement. Hypopigmentation will need more of an evaluation and possibly additional lasers to get improvement. I suggest a formal consultation with an expert in lasers and peels. Best, Dr. Emer.

Yes, chemical peels can be a greatway of treating hyperpigmentation. Thereare many types of chemical peels and all are different with different downtimesas well. You may want to look intohaving a TCA peel done. This peel should only be performed in a medical clinicby a professional. Be prepared to giveyourself some downtime. If you do not have the time then aModified Jessner may be your next best thing. This peel only has about 3 days of mild peeling so all regular activitycan be resumed fairly quickly and no time will be needed off work most likely.
Chemical peels are an excellent treatment for hyperpigmentation. In fact, I prefer chemical peels over any kind of laser treatment for management of hyperpigmentation alone. This can be done using a more gradual approach, with a series of “light” chemical peels (generally, in my practice, this is a combination of glycolic acid, salicylic acid, kogic acid, Jessner’s solution, hydroquinone, and resourcinal) or a more aggressive type of peel, known as trichloroacetic acid (also popularized as a “blue” peel or known as a TCA peel). The more aggressive of these two approaches – the TCA peel – will usually require pre-treatment of the skin for 3-4 weeks prior to the procedure, for best results and to ensure that there are no negative consequences from the peel itself. Pre-treatment involves home application of topical skincare products, including topical vitamin C serum and a product containing hydroquinone and Retin A. Often these products are used again after the procedure to help maintain and prolong your results.
