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

Question

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.

When used in combination, customized chemical peels, microneedling with PRP and a personalized skin care protocol can all provide significant enhancement in skin texture, pore size, complexion, acne, sun damage, and pigmentation. In truth, we do combine these treatments with lasers that can further improve the outcome - but I understand your hesitation.Technique is really important here, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist; our office is located right here in L.A. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your message! Based off of your pictures, I do not think you need to have a chemical peel prior to your PRP injections. PRP with microneedling would be a great option to help improve your skin texture! Typically multiple treatments are needed about 6-8 weeks apart! I would recommend a consultation with a provider in your area for further assessment!

i looked at the close up picture that you sent. I do not think that you need a chemical peel before the PRP   I think you would get a good result without. Take care!
