Yes, chemical peels are a very effective option for this type of pigmentation and are often preferred over lasers for a safer, gradual approach. A 4-month timeline is usually sufficient to see significant and visible fading with a series of peels (usually spaced 2-3 weeks apart) combined with your home care. Please continue the Glyco 6 as advised and ensure you are using a strong sunscreen daily
