Thank you for your question. Chemical peels are great for minimizing pores, stimulating collagen and exfoliating skin. There are different types of peels depending on their strength. I would recommend consulting with a Board Certified Dermatologist to see which is the best treatment plan for you...

I advise patients to start twice daily Melarase cream for hyperpigmentation caused by TCA peels or other chemical peels.  This will help reduce pigmentation. Melarase AM and Melarase PM will help reduce discoloration of the skin from post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

I use the Melarase AM and Melarase PM protocol for my patients with PIH and hyperpigmentation that is either hormonal or sun related. Patients who need deeper penetration can add the RR Retinoid Repair creams to enhance action. Surgery90210

I perform the Obagi Blue Peel in conjunction with facial fillers and feel that there is no conflict in terms of interference with stimulatory filler action. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles
