How To Treat Hypopigmentation

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels for hypopigmentation may be used in conjunction with treatment for an underlying condition. As an individual's skin becomes healthier, the layers underneath will slowly start to become more visible. To bring them into the sun faster, individuals can use a chemical peel to remove damaged cells. This won't necessarily even out their skin tone right away, but it will remove damaged layers of skin and reveal the more melanin-rich and healthy skin below. There are three main types of chemical peels: deep, medium, and light. Individuals should always make sure their chemical peel is conducted by a medical professional like a skincare specialist, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon. After the procedure, patients have to follow the postop care instructions to the letter if they don't want to harm their skin. Deep and medium chemical peels are the most likely to even someone's skin tone, but they tend to require between two and three weeks to recover. Each procedure might last between thirty and ninety minutes.
