While chemical peels can be effective for various skin concerns, such as acne scars and fine lines, they are less effective for addressing stretch marks, as they primarily target the superficial layers of the skin.
Chemical peels may still help make stretch marks less noticeable by:
Exfoliating the skin - Chemical peels remove the top layer of skin, promoting the growth of new skin cells. This exfoliation can improve the texture and tone of the skin, making stretch marks less noticeable.
Blending discolouration - If the stretch marks have a noticeable colour contrast with the surrounding skin, chemical peels can help to blend and lighten the discolouration.
