Chemical peels are not prescribed during pregnancy.
If you want to treat your scars there are other treatment which are safe for your condition.
Book an appointment for better prescription.

Hello! It’s best to avoid a chemical peel such as phenol even on scars alone as it is a deep peel. It can be done post your pregnancy and postpartum without any apprehensions. Enjoy this period.
