Dead Skin Peeled After a Chemical Peel. What Can One Do Now?

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.

At this point the best thing to do is keep your skin very hydrated using a post peel balm or aquaphor. Return to your peel provider to have them asses your skin. Make sure to avoid the sun and wear your sunscreen to help protect from hyper pigmentation and scarring. In the future no more picking!
 

You should return to your doctor to be assessed.  Wash very gently and keep your skin moist with a product such as Aquaphor.  Avoid any sun exposure which can cause dark spots.  Hopefully, you have not caused any damage to your skin.
