What is the best chemical peel for oily skin with ingrown hairs for an African American male?

Hi Trenna42,

Glycolic peels and some Jessner's type peels that are safe for darker skin tones are a great option for you. I would also recommend using a daily glycolic serum to help gently exfoliate your skin, as well as a light water based moisturizer to avoid your skin from over producing oil. Many times, when you use aggressive cleansers and serums, your body produces extra oil to replace what you have removed from the surface of your skin.

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.

Best,
