Chemical peel needed before PRP to see better results? (Photo)

babyface87Feb 4, 2019

Hi-- I have poor skin texture and blotchiness at 31 from a botched beauty procedure that happened years ago. I want to try PRP but am curious if chemical peels are a necessary first step in order for PRP's skin benefits to really show? I have fair thin skin. Not open to using a laser as thats what caused my problems in the first place.

Swelling with PRP/Filler is normal, likely because your injector had injected a little extra to promote more PRP dispersal in the area. Some fillers (dependent on the brand) can cause more swelling than others. You should allow the volume to reduce on its own for one week, before trying to man...

PRP is not used to my knowledge as a full body lightening treatment, but your question is not very detailed to begin with. You may want to consider skin brightening topical creams if you are seeking lightening treatments. Best, Dr. Anil Shah
