Will chemical peels soften my hands texture? (photos)

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.

Hai...Thank you for the question and for sharing your photos. This condition may happen if you do waxing often. Frequent waxing may cause your hair follicle to react which may lead to early stages of folliculitis and dry skin. Well keratosis pilaris and Xerosis are also interlinked and i dont think that these photos show xerosis which is an extreme dry skin condition . Initially a lactic acid chemical peel may work well to moisturise your skin followed by some oral[ if necessary] and topical moisturisers. Above all , Protect your skin from the harmful UVR with a broad spectrum sunscreen.  

The addition of essential fatty acids by mouth flaxseed oil which contains omega three and six fatty acid along with zinc can be hlepful. For external use I like excipal containing 20 per cent urea. This inside and outside approach is often hlepful for keratosis Polaris.
