Can a chemical peel burn your face?

I am a 29 year old female. I want to know if a chemical peel can burn your face?

1 Answer

Yes, a chemical peel can burn the face, especially (and usually) when performed at home or by an inexperienced, non-medical practitioner or in a medspa type setting. In the hands of an experienced aesthetic physician, such as an aesthetic dermatologist, the proper chemical or combination of chemicals and the proper concentrations of each can be safely employed to treat whatever the particular skin problem.
