A member asked:
Chemical facial peel - what happens to you if something goes wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chemical peels: Among the more serious and undesirable chemical peel side effects are changes in shin color. It is possible, although rare when you're treated by a qualified physician, to develop hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation after a chemical peel. Hyperpigmentation is increased color of the skin.
