Hi Himani,
Do not worry. You have made correct decision by opting chemical peeling.
Chemical peeling is done when topical drugs are no longer effective.
However, sometimes redness or scarring do occur after setting but it will go off over period of time.
But after chemical peel, you should take some care as follow.
1] Stay out of sun.
2] Moisturize the skin with moisturizer that contains sunscreen with minimum SPF-15.
The doctor might advise use of Retin-A depending on the skin condition before the next chemical peel.
Take care.
Best regards,
Dr. Neelam.

Hello
Thanks for your query.
I will try my best to provide you with best possible professional recommendations to your questions.
Chemical peels are acid chemical solutions used to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers.
Chemical peels normally work by burning off the outer layer of the skin and exposing the inner layers that are free of scars.
Depending upon the type of chemical peel, a reaction similar to sunburn occurs following the procedure. Peeling usually involves redness, followed by scaling that ends within three to seven days. Peeling can be repeated if the desired effects are not obtained.
Scaring occurs in some individual and for this reason only the dermatologist have prescribed you Hyclean, depigmentation cream.
Yet again, I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Regards
