Who can benefit from acid peels?
Superficial acid peels can be performed on patients of all Fitzpatrick skin types with good results. Contraindications are few. However, acid peels should not be performed on any patient with known history of dermatologic disorders that manifest in skin sensitivity, any patient with known sensitivity and/or allergy to any component of the peeling agent, and all patients who have unrealistic expectations and are known to be non-compliant with at-home management and treatment specifications. What acid peels can do for me?
