I have Olive (Medium) skin, and I am hispanic. My face has an uneven skin tone. I have white spots and dark spots. I've never had any procedures done to my face, but I am confused about what procedure would be the most effective for me. Which between Chemical Peel and Laser Peel should I go for? I don't want to end up with major pigmentation issues because of my skin type.
Answer: Recommend doing a combination of Melapeel and laser such as LaseMD. Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. 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 discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .

Answer: Darker Skin and Best Treatment Chemical Peels are much safer than lasers with darker skin. I would definitely consult a board certified dermatologist to analyze your skin and determine what is the best treatment for your pigmentation. Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Chemical peel vs. laser for uneven skin tone and spots. You ought to consider seeking consultation with a dermatologist to diagnose your skin conditions before undergoing any procedure. White spots and dark spots on the face have many potential causes. If for example the white spots are related to an inflammatory skin condition, a chemical peel or laser treatment may not be beneficial and might even worsen your condition.
