Do Chemical Peels Work on Back and Shoulder Pigmentation?
1 month ago
My back and shoulders have post-acne pigmentation that isn’t fading. Are chemical peels effective on body areas or only on the face? How many sessions are typically needed?

Chemical peels work well on body areas like the back and shoulders, especially for pigmentation left behind by acne. Body skin is thicker than facial skin, so peels can sometimes be even more effective when the right strength is chosen.
It also helps with exfoliation, evens out the tone, and reduces acne marks gradually. Most people require around four to six sessions spaced a few weeks apart to see a noticeable improvement.
If the pigmentation is deeper, stronger peels or a combination with laser treatments may be recommended. Consistent sunscreen use on exposed areas also plays a big role in maintenance.
