🌟 What Chemical Peels Do?
Chemical peels use acids or chemical solutions to exfoliate the outer layers of skin, speeding up cell turnover and revealing fresher, more evenly toned skin underneath. This can help reduce visible dark spots, sun damage, melasma, post-acne marks, and general uneven skin tone.
Important: They can also cause irritation or even worsen pigmentation if done too aggressively or without proper sun protection — especially in darker skin tones.
🔬 Types of Peels for Hyperpigmentation
🧪 Light / Superficial Peels
Best for mild hyperpigmentation and uneven tone:
Glycolic Acid (AHA): Great starter peel; brightens and gently exfoliates the surface skin.
Lactic Acid (AHA): Milder and hydrating, good for sensitive or dry skin.
Mandelic Acid (AHA): Gentler and useful for sensitive skin or darker skin tones with lower irritation risk.
Salicylic Acid (BHA): Excellent if hyperpigmentation comes from acne marks; penetrates pores and reduces inflammation.
➡️ These peels generally have minimal downtime and can often be done more frequently.
⚡ Medium Peels
Best for moderate to stubborn pigmentation:
Jessner’s Peel: A combination of salicylic, lactic, and resorcinol acids — strong but very effective for sun damage and post-acne PIH.
Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) Peel: Penetrates deeper layers to target more persistent dark spots or melasma.
➡️ You’ll likely need multiple treatments spaced weeks apart for best results.
🔥 Deep Peels (Professional Only)
Phenol or high-strength TCA: Usually reserved for more severe skin concerns and not typically recommended just for pigmentation
