Achieve Clearer Skin with Chemical Peels for Hyperpigmentation in McKinney, TX

The best type of peel depends on your skin type and the severity of your pigmentation. Common options include:

• Superficial Peels (Light Peels) – Use mild acids like glycolic or lactic acid to brighten skin with little to no downtime.
• Medium Peels – Use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or salicylic acid to treat deeper pigmentation, including melasma.
• Deep Peels – Use stronger acids to target severe pigmentation but require more recovery time.

We’ll determine the best peel for your skin’s needs during your consultation.

Although most patients experience noticeable improvements after just one treatment, we frequently advise a series of three to six peels spaced four to six weeks apart for best results. The number of treatments depends on the depth of the pigmentation and your skin’s response to the peel.

Yes, but the type of peel must be carefully chosen based on your skin type and tone. Darker skin tones may cause some peels to be too harsh, which can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Our office specializes in safe, customized peels for all skin tones, ensuring the best results with minimal risk.

To ensure the best outcome:

• Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and harsh skincare products for a week before treatment.
• Use sunscreen daily to protect your skin from further pigmentation.
• Stay hydrated and follow any pre-treatment guidelines provided by our dermatology team.

Results can last several months to a year, depending on how well you care for your skin. Using sunscreen, a good skincare routine, and periodic maintenance peels will help prolong your results.
