does chemical peel whiten skin - #21137

Saanvi

I am really curious about this whole chemical peel thing. Like, a while back, I had a pretty bad breakout, and my dermatologist suggested getting a chemical peel. She mentioned it could help with the acne scars, but I also heard people say that a chemical peel can whiten skin. Now I'm wondering, does chemical peel whiten skin for real? I mean, I want to get rid of these dark spots, but I'm not sure what to expect. After the peel, my skin did feel smoother, but are the effects like permanent? I even read some forums where people said it changed their skin tone, some in a way they didn’t want. And I'm not sure if that's the same for everyone or just certain skin types. I have medium skin tone, and I'm worried about ending up looking ghostly! Has anyone here experience with chemical peels and how they really worked out? Does chemical peel whiten skin or just help with texture and spots? The dermatologist didn’t explain much about that part, and I’m just a little confused and want to be sure before I consider doing it again.
