Question:
I’m 67, and I would like to renew my skin for a large charity dinner I’m attending. I’ve had several cosmetic surgeries in the past, including a nose job, a facelift, and laser skin resurfacing. Would a chemical peel be safe for me?
Answer:
A chemical peel would be safe for you as long as your laser resurfacing was more than a few months ago and you are otherwise in good health and don’t have any other contraindications. Of course there are many different strengths of chemical peel and also laser treatments available so we would want to match your concerns with the treatment that would provide the best results for your desired improvement and tolerance for recovery.
