I used glycolic peel 50% at home. No use at all. What should I do?

Question

No change in color or peeling. Is glycolic peel a waste one?

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. Chemical peels are much more effective when performed by a board certified facial plastic surgeon and medical team. There are techniques that use a variety of lasers, amplified light, chemicals and mechanical forms of resurfacing such as dermabrasion and microdermabrasion. You and your medical team can determine which treatment is best suited for you.
Best wishes,

Hi,Thank you for posting your question here. Chemical peels are of various kinds apart from glycolic acid. A pre-peel preparation is mandatory before proceeding with a chemical peel. Kindly visit a board certified plastic surgeon to get your chemical peel. Best of luck.

Glycolic peels are best used weekly for noticable results.  For maximum results see your board certified plastic surgeon for more advanced treatments.
