I have dark spots around my cheeks. I managed to somewhat clear my skin last year with a series of 4 peels (I think they were various PCA peels of varying strengths, starting off with light peels then moving forward with deeper peels and 2 microdermabrasion with a facial. In any rate, I stopped taking care of my skin, I thought at 36 my acne phase was over as I went several months without getting any acne. Now, I need to clear my face up again. Plans to get VI Peel, but would a laser work?
I keep hearing conflicting information about microneedling, radio frequency, lasers, Vi Peel. I have done some chemical peels (not Vi) but Im looking for something with more dramatic results with the least chance of hypo or hyperpigmentation or scarring.
I am african american and I had my first VI Peel on 12/20/2013. My chin and forehead have peeled already, but my cheeks still have thick black skin. The skin under looks red. It itches a lot. Should I be concerned about scarring. Can the peel cause keloid scar?
