Hello,
No Chemical Peels are not harmful if done by a Dermatologist. Peels are also being done by untrained people and these can be harmful, e.g in beauty parlours, and these are not recommended.
Peels can produce a marked improvement in skin pigmentation and tanning. There are various types of peels and it usually takes 4-6 sessions to see a noticeable improvement. Sessions are done at 2-3 weekly intervals. Along with peeling other measures like sun protection are a must.
A Dermatologist will select a suitable peel after checking your skin type. If you like you can book an appointment with me since I do a lot of Chemical Peels and have years of experience with them. This can be done through Healcon itself.
