For skin color lightening which one is better - microdermabrasion or checmical peal? - thanks.

Chemical peel: You generally will fade more hyper-pigmentation with an appropriately chosen chemical peel than microdermabrasion . The outcome will depend on the right or best chemical peeling agent for you and the experience of the person doing the peel. I never had much luck fading hyper-pigmentation in patients with courses of microdermabrasion.
