Abstract

Background: Superficial chemical peels are commonly used for treating dermatological conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and photoaging. However, their safety profile in individuals with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI) remains a concern due to the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and other complications. This study aims to assess the safety profile of superficial chemical peels in individuals with darker skin through a retrospective analysis of adverse effects and treatment outcomes.
