Photoageing, mottled pigmentation, texture change and selected atrophic acne scars. Suitability is confirmed after examination.
Expect redness, tightness and visible peeling over 5–7+ days, with pinkness that fades over weeks. Social downtime is higher than AHA/BHA peels.
It can be, with careful prep, conservative depth and rigorous SPF; PIH risk is higher, so selection and aftercare are critical.
Some patients benefit from a single session; others from staged treatments 8–12 weeks apart, or focal CROSS for scars. We individualise the plan.
Prolonged redness, PIH/PAH, infection, herpes reactivation, scarring (rare), demarcation lines and textural change if over-treated. We mitigate with depth control and aftercare.
