Can a doctor/dermatologist accurately determine if I'm at risk for hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation post chemical peel?

Asked By:damp in li

I am a 24 yr old male of mixed ancestry (Just some french, mixes of black and some german), I have tan to light brown skin, and I am looking forward to getting a chemical peel to remove aging acne scars and sun damage spots; either a light peel or deep peel. Before my chemical peel, I am just wondering if it's possible to tell whether I will experience hypo -or hyperpigmentation after a chemical peel. I wouldn't like either. I would really appreciate your replies!
