ABSTRACT
Traditionally, most practitioners have tended to limit the use of chemical peeling procedures to the facial skin and possibly the neck [1,2]. Although chemical peeling techniques can be highly beneficial to skin that has been damaged by sun exposure and/or aging, the nonfacial skin can be problematic to treat. Traditional chemical peeling techniques when applied to the nonfacial skin may give unpredictable or undesirable results, such as depigmentation and/or scarring, and may penetrate beyond the desired depth. In some cases, postinflammatory pigmentation and other undesirable sequelae may occur.
