I had a chemical peel under my eyes in November. I have fair Mediterranean skin, and I have melasma on my cheeks. I was red for much longer than I thought, and now it is less red, almost 8 weeks later, but not the same color as the rest of my skin. I'm also noticing some demarcation lines as a result. Is it just my skin type and the how it heals, or should I be doing something to help it along? I asked the doctor when it was still red and he told me to apply 1% steroid cream twice a day, which I have been doing for the last 2-3 weeks. Please help!
Answer: Clinique Medial pre- and post- peels and laser is very effective PD62, Sorry to hear you are having issues after your peel. Without me specific information or pictures, it is hard to give you very specific advice. However, I have started using Clinical Medial in all my post peel and post laser patients and I have seen encouraging results. They make specific creams and lotions to use before and after your treatment which help maximize your results and reduce side effects. Good Luck. David Shafer, MD New York City

Answer: Redness might persist after a chemical peel. Thank you for your question! Redness might persist after a chemical peel. Depending on the depth of your peel, it may take 2-3 months or longer for the redness to fade. The deeper the peel, the longer the redness will remain. Please do not use any cosmetics that might cause irritation to your skin. Let time heal and all you can do is to wait. Best of luck!
