Hello Mahi, Usually a series of 6-8 chemical peels are must for a good results in pigmentation. Ideally a gap of 15-20 days should be there in between the sessions. Thank you Dr Hardik Pitroda
Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic
Certainly chemical peeling can improve pigmentation. Glycolic peel is one such peel and helps to exfoliate existing pigment/ melanin. A session of chemical peeling is usually performed every 2 weeks. Number of sessions required would depend on the severity of pigmentation. Since you have observed improvement after 2 sessions, therefore, I suggest you to continue with further sessions. However, it is also important to use a topical cream/ingredient which would prevent synthesis of new melanin i.e re-development of pigmentation. Sun protection is also an essential part of treatment of pigmentation and prevents further sun induced darkening. I suggest you to use a broad spectrum sunscreen, i.e one which offers both UV A as well as UV B protection, throughout the day.
Regards
