Question:
I want the strongest physician strength peel that would be suitable for my skin type. I am Irish and right now have a face loaded with freckles. I am 37 years old and want to have smoother skin. What type of peel would you recommend for me? How long will my face be red afterwards?
Answer:
I would suggest a laser peel and not an old fashioned chemical peel. Such laser peels are much more predictable and less likely to scar than the older aggressive chemical peels. Some of these older peels such as phenol peels were also associated with kidney or heart problems. No laser peel ever has such problems. Ask for lasers such as Fraxel Re:pair, Sciton Profractional or Lumenis FX for great laser peels. Remember though the quality of the laser peel is affected by both the laser and the experience of the physician doing the laser. If the laser peel is done correctly it will heal in about 1 week and the redness will be gone in a couple of weeks.
