What kind of chemical peels can help with my uneven skin texture? (photo)

Question

I have developed a lot of dents and uneven bumpy skin on my face, specially around my cheek area. I do not smoke and wear sunscreen, so I don't know what has caused this. I am a 24 year old female. Could you please recommend a treatment that would be effective in reducing my uneven skin texture.

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. 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 decide whether early subcision should be started.

Thank you for your question. You could benefit from a series of medium depth peels, this will help to even out your skin tone and texture. The type of peel will depend on different factors of your skin type and concerns, this is easier to asses during a consultation. I would suggest consulting with a licesned skin care provider.

A series of TCA chemical peels is just what the doctor ordered for everyone. The more you peel your skin, typically the better the texture becomes when talking about light and medium TCA peels. I recommend a medium peel yearly for the rest of your life for everyone. Normally they are roughly $1500 but currently on special for 1/2 off therefore $750 each for the face. Alternately, you can do 6 light tca peels with no downtime for the same special of $750 for all 6 instead of $1500. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD
