Obagi medium chemical peel(s) to treat lots of forehead wrinkles caused by frowning and sun damage. Is this strong enough?

Question

I have lots of diaganol forehead wrinkles that are fine and static and have around $2000 to spend . I have visited a professional who has advised Obagi Chemical Peels (3-4 ) to treat these. Are these peels strong enough to help diminish these wrinkles significantly or are there other treatments I should consider at another practice? I would travel to America for the treatment offering the most significant outcome. I am male and fair skinned . Many thanks

Once you prep your skin with Melarase creams, a TCA chemical peel like the Obagi peel and fractional laser can help smoothe the wrinkles and sun damage on the skin. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thanks for your question. Medium depth chemical peels are a wonderful way to rejuvenate the skins appearance however it sounds like your main concern is forehead wrinkles. Chemical peels will help diminish fine lines but forehead wrinkles tend to be from constant muscle movement. The best treatment for treating forehead wrinkles is Botox. It will be a couple of hundred dollars every 3 months with phenomenal results. I would recommend a consultation with a Doctor highly trained in Botox injections.  Best wishes.
