Melasma lightened with a series of gentle peels
12 weeks into treatment · 4 peels · age 35
Melasma that darkened after a pregnancy. Treated cautiously for her skin type with four superficial peels, strict daily sun protection and a pigment-blocking routine, because aggressive treatment makes melasma worse.

They picked a peel that was safe for my darker skin tone and explained why. No irritation, great results.

Thank you for taking the time to write this. Glad the plan worked out the way we discussed.
The peel took care of sun spots I've had for years. Some peeling for about five days, then glowing skin.

A chemical peel applies a carefully selected acid solution that removes damaged outer layers of skin. As the skin renews, sun spots fade, texture smooths and tone becomes more even.
Peels range from light "lunchtime" peels with no downtime to medium-depth peels that deliver more dramatic results with about a week of peeling. The right peel depends on your skin type, concerns and schedule.
Your skin is cleansed and the peel solution is applied in layers for a set time, then neutralized or left to self-neutralize. Most appointments take 30 to 45 minutes.

Light peels usually cause only mild flaking. Medium peels cause noticeable peeling for about five to seven days.
Many peels are safe for all skin types when chosen and applied by an experienced provider.
Light peels can be repeated every four weeks; deeper peels are spaced several months apart.
Peels can improve melasma as part of a plan that includes sun protection and topical treatment, though melasma often needs ongoing maintenance.
