Skin scarring from chemical peel? (photos)

NJ
Nicky JApr 16, 2015

In 4 weeks after chemical peel my skin looks all as if covered in tiny wrinkles. The lines all go in one direction, especially if I pull the skin or smile. Could this be scarring? Is it permanent? Any solutions?

Washing your face is always a healthy part of a good skin regimen. We recommend washing your face without excessive scrubbing, followed by application of a ceramide cream such as Elevase Moisture Booster. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Hyperpigmentation of the skin can improve with HQ and non-HQ skin lighteners. I would suggest Melarase AM and Melarase PM creams used twice daily before and after your bikini laser. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

You may need more exfoliating effect. We suggest using a retinoid cream to help improve the amount of skin exfoliation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Our office specializes in chemical peels in Los Angeles. Typically, it is not advised to squeeze or irritate your skin after a chemical peel. In our office, we recommend daily exfoliation with Replenish Retinoid Cream or Melapads after a chemical peel. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los...

We use many different types of combination peels on the skin after Accutane. Lighter peels usually suffice to help reduce acne breakouts and improve complexion. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
