Does anyone know of a dermatological/ chemical peels skin lightening procedure that lightens dark complexion? Does anyone know of a dermatological/ chemical peels skin lightening procedure that lightens dark complexion? I'm a dark skinned latina and have very bad unevened skin tone. My legs, upper chest area surronding my breast are also light brown, including my arms and face and the rest of my body are very black. It seems like I'm losing my color over the years as I get older. This makes it impossible to wear shorts/tank tops or whatever, due to the various shades. I would like to evenout my complexion. It's very hard to keep covering up under makeup as that is time consuming and leaves stains on clothing. I'm not too much interested in skin lightening creams either, they also are time consuming, takes forever before results are seen and I happen to be allergic to the creams. I'm not trying to be Michael Jackson white or anything like that. Microdermabrasion does not work on the entire body and cocoa butter doesn't work either. Any other suggestions.

Chemical peels-only doctors please? I used to visit my dermatologist very often a couple of years ago because of my acne-prone skin. She would prescribe a tretinoin cream and I would have a chemical peel every two months. My skin looked so radiant and blemish-free back then. In the last two years, I haven't had the chance to go. I use oil-free and acne-prevent creams, but I have many breakouts and blemishes. My question is do I have to go back and start the peels again, or are all these peels finally going to damage my skin? Is it safe to have peels in the long-run? I forgot to mention that I'm an adult (24) and my acne is hormone-related (mild polyovarian cyst syndrome - my gynaecologists says it's very mild and since my period is normal, I shouldn't get any hormones). Thank you.

chemical peels? I have very fair skin and have age spots, and hyperpigmentation. I have been using Platnium Skin Cares 60% glycolic peel for over a year. The results are good, but I have to use it twice a week. Anyone with info on glycolic or tca combo peels please let me know. Remember I am super fair (blonde) so I don't worry about getting too white. I have not ordered the tca combo because tca seems to be for ache scars which I dont have. I have never had achne. I am 46 so I have mature skin. What about hydroquinone 4%, I've heard that some people use that. 4% is prescription strength. 2% does not work for me. Thanks Dianne

Chemical peels and accutane?!? So I've been off Accutane for two months now. And I have a lot of red spots and mild scars that I would like to get rid of with a chemical peel. And supposedly your suppose to wait 6 months after taking accutane to get any treatments done to your face. But I also read on Web Md that you can get superficial chemical peels while on accutane.

Chemical peels for scars / pigmentation? I am of asian origin and have dark marks scattered over my face from spots.

Has anyone done this? what have your results been like? please tell me your stories. If i do do it, it will be by a special approved dermatologist that i know is well known and approved so no need to worry about this....plus the cost isnt too excessive. P.s. how long after the treatment did your face look funny or irritated? hours?....days?.....could it be covered with makeup?

Is microdermabrasion and chemical peels safe for African Americans? I am a seventeen year old African American girl. I have had acne since the middle of 2006 and since then my life has been nothing but depression. I used to be amazingly beautiful, but since my breakouts, I feel down, and ugly. I 'd like my old skin texture and tone back as well as my confindence. Acne has left some (in my opinion) mild yet noticeable scars over my entire face and everyone seems to notice the change. Also, I still have new pimples every now and then, and I was wondering if microdermabrasion would be safe for my skin seeming as though my acne is not cured, and my skin is "dark" (I am actually light skinned, but realize that I am still African American). Im a little scared, because I've heard that on African American people especially, microdermabrasion and chemical peels sometimes CAUSE MORE HYPERPIGMENTATION AND DISCOLORATION ... and if that were to happen, my life would be over...please guide me with your advice, and prayers. Thank you.
