Chemical Peel for Spider Veins and Large Pores?

So we have to remember that we are mammals and covered with hair follicles. When the edges of the follicles become prominent then the pores of our skin become more noticable. To treat this would be to slough the surface of the skin with either resurfacing laser techniques, chemical peels or topical tretinion, and to shrink the underlying nearby oil glands with a topical tretinoin cream. In your case it seems that a topical vitamin A cream, tretinoin or retinol, would be helpful in decreasing the appearance of the pores. The treatment of vessles/veins is performed best with lasers or light devices. The vessel is targeted and shrunk/destroyed in this method. Remember that these treatments are not perminent and the pores and vessels can recur as time progresses.

Chemical Peels are not the answer for pores and veins, both are too deep and unresponsive to be effected by a peel, even a deep one. Topically applied retinoids such as Retin A, or tazorac, can improve skin texture and pores to some extent and vascular lasers work very well on enlarged veins. More invasive lasers like a fractionated CO2 laser (Activ Fx) improve both problems, but involve down time and can be expensive.
