This is a description of skin treatments for ethnic skin including Asian, Hispanic / Latino, African-American, Indian skin types by Dr Philip Young MD of Seattle / Bellevue Washington http://www.drphilipyoung.com/procedures.php?procedure=skincare Co2 laser resurfacing, Active fx, Intense pulse light, microdermabrasion, and chemical peels are discussed. PIgmentation problems are highlighted as particular problems prevalent in the ethnic skin population.
Any superficial peel can be safe in Asians. Even co2 laser resurfacing can be safe in Asians you just always have a chance for hyperpigmentation afterwards. With Asians you always need to be more conservative. You should come in and see us for a consult.

I'm Asian and is considering the Vitalize Peel to remove my acne scars. Do you think the Vitalize Peel is safe for Asian skin, as in it won't cause hyperpigmentation? And how much down time would I need with the Vitalize Peel? Thanks.
