chemical peel indian skin - #15963
I am really confused about getting a chemical peel for my indian skin. I have been considering it for a while since my skin has been feeling dull and I’ve got some dark spots that just won’t go away. I did some research and found out that chemical peels can help, but I keep seeing mixed opinions on how they react with indian skin. Like, some say it's great for removing blemishes, but others mention that it can cause more pigmentation problems especially if ur too aggressive with the treatment. I went to a local clinic and they recommended a glycolic acid peel. I tried a patch test and, wow, my skin was super red afterwards!!! Do chemical peels usually cause that much irritation? I mean, is it common for indian skin to react like that? My friend who has similar complexion had a peel and said it helped a lot but her skin is a lil' tougher than mine. Should I be worried or is there a way to make this process safer for people with indian skin? Just don't want to end up with more issues, u know? How often is it advisable for someone with my skin type to get a chemical peel? I really appreciate any insights on this.
