Edit What are the risks of getting a chemical peel treatment?

<p>As with any medical procedure there are risks with this treatment programme. Most people don’t experience any downtime with a superficial chemical peel, but sometimes there is redness which can last for a few days or weeks.</p> <p>With any chemical peel there is a small risk of a reaction that could leave your skin looking darker (called post-inflammatory <a title="hyperpigmentation" href="/conditions/pigmentation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hyperpigmentation</a>) or lighter (called post-inflammatory hypopigmentation).</p> <p>The Obagi Sunfader cream contains 4% hydroquinone so it shouldn’t be used for longer than three months at a time due to the rare occurrence of ochronosis (a permanent darkening of the skin caused by hydroquinone).</p> <p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or trying to get pregnant then you shouldn’t have this treatment. If you have any sensitivities to any of the products then you also shouldn’t have this treatment.</p>
