Chemical peels with cosmetic tattoos? (Photos)

Question

I'm interested in a series of light chemical peels to smooth my skin texture and fade freckles. I have micropigmented eyebrows. Will the chemical peels affect my cosmetic tattoos?

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. There are several different forms of chemical peel that can be used to treat minor wrinkles and discoloration of the face. It can be applied at specific parts of your face so as to avoid any areas that you do not want treated. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. The light chemical peel will provide you a light exfoliation to smooth your skin texture and fade your freckles. Best wishes,

Thank you for your question! Chemical peels can be applied to targeted areas to avoid treating areas with cosmetic tattoos. Make an appointment with certified provider to get your skin examined and to receive personalized suggestion when it comes to chemical peel that would work the best for your skin. TCA peel is used to minimize appearance of freckles but they usually come back after some time. Laser treatment would deliver you more permanent results. To prevent freckles, it is important to protect your skin and always wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Best of luck!

Likely not. I would recommend Melarase PM and Melapads followed by Melapeels once monthly to improve your skin tone and complexion. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
