Is it bad to do a chemical peel once a month?
Answer: Recommend doing once a month as needed 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: Peel frequency It all depends on the depth of the peel and your concern. Usually, you can expect once every two to four weeks, with lighter peels being more frequent.

Answer: Frequency of chemical peels Assuming you are referring to light chemical peels, they are safe to do monthly. I prefer having an interval of at least 2-3 weeks between peels to allow full epidermal healing.

Answer: Depends on the peel Not all chemical peel agents or formulations of such are the same. Peels are divided as very superficial, superficial, medium and deep. Very superficial peels such as retinoids (Retin-A) or glycolic acid 5-10% can be used daily and at times can be found in OTC formulations such as Neostrata or Glytone cleansers.
