Can a chemical peel speed up the acne purging process?

Most lite peels such as jessners or 10%TCA do great to improve acne breakouts and get rid of the discolorations that acne leave. Often 3-6 peels are needed and done 2 weeks apart

Absolutely. We use a combination of Yag laser and Melapeels to eliminate acne breakouts. For hormonal acne, we may need therapeutic acne treatments as well. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Thank you for your question. A chemical peel is the process of using chemical agents to burn the top layers of skin off of the skin of the face and potentially other areas of the body. The medium chemical peel - specifically - can deal with acne scars. I suggest that you move forward and consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to determine if peels are right for you. Peels should only be applied by a professional. Lasers, microneedling/prp, radiofrequency treatments, and blue light are also good treatments for improving acne. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question! It depends on your acne condition and breakouts since chemical peels cause acne breakouts. Patients prone to breakouts are usually put on antibiotics to prevent breakouts after chemical peel. Consult an expert to get personalized treatment. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. A chemical peel in many cases will cause some acne breakouts after treatment, but the skin will clear up within a few weeks. Light base therapy would be a great option to decrease inflammation from acne. Hope this help. Good luck.
