How many chemical peel treatments do I need for a full treatment?

By Dr. Mark Hamilton

Question:
I am interested in a chemical peel because I have really uneven pigmentation on my face and neck. How many sessions are needed for full treatment?

Answer:
We recommend scheduling a skincare consultation before determining the number of chemical peels to treat pigment issues. Treatments are usually performed in a series of 3 at 3-4 week intervals depending on what type of chemical peel we choose to treat your skin’s specific needs. It is also important to schedule routine skincare treatments such as Microdermabrasion or maintenance peels every 3 months. Applying a daily sunscreen is also very important in maintaining your results.
