Question:
I have heard chemical peels can improve the appearance of scars. Are different chemical peels used for different types of scars?
Answer:
Yes, chemical peels can improve the appearance of some superficial scars. Ice-pick scars due to acne are rarely improved by chemical peels alone. The deeper the scar – the deeper chemical peel would be required. Acne scars are typically best treated with a combination of a chemical peel, dermabrasion and on occasion, laser.
