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

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

It is not uncommon to get skin darkening after a chemical peel. I would recommend that you begin a topical skin lightener such as Melarase AM and Melarase PM soon after a chemical peel to maintain results. Best, DR. Karamanoukian Santa Monica

Go see a dermatologist right away. The sooner the better since the earlier the intervention the better the chances of preventing permanent hyperpigmentation and scarring. If this is new, your dermatologist will provide you with local wound care for a burn to the skin as well as a local steroid...

I would follow your physician's recommendations after a chemical peel. In our office, we often use a cortisone cream followed by Elevase Moisture Booster with ceramides to help soothe the skin. Best,Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
