Would a chemical peel or series of peels work to even out my blotchy skin with generalized hyper-pigmentation which I believe to be secondary to acne, melasma, and sun exposure. Thank you.
Answer: Recommend doing Vbeam to help reduce redness, chemical peels combined with laser treatments can help even out texture and tone Our office has many different treatments for scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the visibility of the scars so that they are no longer visible in ambient light. Everyone has a unique pattern of scarring and we employ our HIDEF technique to improve texture, color, contour, and topography. We often use a combination of treatments that begin with a careful examination to examine the micro texturing of the acne scars. Atrophic scars and indented scars can benefit from injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with or without subcision to remove tethered scars and atrophic depression. Hyper-redness in scars can be improved with V beam laser, Excel V, BBL, IPL, and Venus RF to improve the redness and reduce the visibility of deep scars. Fractional Thulium laser and clear & brilliant can also reduce the inflammation and redness of the scar when combined with topical therapy. Fractional lasers such as Fraxel, erbium, and CO2 laser can be combined with radio frequency and also fractional RF to improve textual issues and microtopography. Subcision and TCA cross are also used for deep ice pick scars and narrow valley scars in order to improve the micro texture. Above all, our combination approach with our clinical nurses and board-certified plastic surgeons can improve the quality of your skin by using at home Melarase creams combined with PRP treatments in our office to improve your skin quality and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced team of experts in order to reduce your scarring.

Answer: A series of light TCA peels should do the trick to better skin coloration. A series of 6 light 10-15%TCA peels done 2-3 weeks apart is great for evening out skin color problems but a prescription bleaching cream and a cortisone cr is also needed.

Answer: Peels for hyperpigmentation Hello! thank you for your question and for sharing your photos! Yes - generally speaking Jessner's peels (which go by many different names - Illuminze, Vitalize and Rejuvanize are just a few of them....) would make a beautiful difference for your skin. However - be aware that the kind of peels you need to make a difference will involve 3-5 days of peeling, and a series of 3-6 peels about a month apart. On the bright side - they will improve you skin texture and fine lines as well as working on pigment. Good luck - and I hope this helps!
