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:
At 37 years of age, Irish, and interested in the reduction of the freckles with some skin smoothing, I would suggest a medium strength chemical peel. Medium strength peels usually involve a 35% TCA (trichloric acetic acid) with a Jessner’s solution. I have had excellent results in patients such as yourself with the use of this chemical peel combination.
