Can I have a medium peel in between Infini RF treatments? (Photo)

Question

Just completed Infini RF treatment #3 on 7/30th. It is working well so far and I hope for another one or two to take care of my rolling scars. However, I would like to have a medium chemical peel to provide that "glow" and to even out some of the textural issues. Is this possible and will not contraindicate the progress of the Infini treatments? I plan to go for #4, six weeks after #3. Thanks very much for any advice.

This depends on the depth of the peel and how long until your skin has recovered.  You should be completely healed prior to any additional RF treatments. Considering your next treatment is in 5 weeks that should be plenty of time to recover from many peels that don't go "too deep."  A Jessners Peel may be a good option; not all patients are good candidates for chemical peels so you should be evaluated to se if you may benefit. Alternatively, an aggressive skin care regimen will help to improve your pigmentation and give you that glow you desire without any down time of peeling.  
Not everyone is a good candidate for this treatment so please see a Board Certified or Board Eligible Plastic Surgeon to evaluate if you may benefit. Good luck!

I recommend that you get on a daily skin regimen to reduce the hyperpigmentation. Either the Brightening Kit from Kare Skin orMelarase AM with PIH Relief Complex (see link below).BestH Karamanoukian MD FACS
