Alternatives to Deep Chemical Peels? Mydermatologist said some of my acne scars are deep, and I will need a deep peel for them. Are there other successful, more cost-effective alternatives to a deep chemical peel?

A: Look into laser treatment for acne scars.

Shaina,

Chemical peels are often very effective for mild to moderate skin resurfacing. However, if you have deep scars, you may want to consider fractionated laser. The laser technology has grown considerably in the last few years. Fractionated laser may be able to give you significant results with less down time than previous treatments. It is important that you go to a surgeon with laser experience and not just a weekend course. Ask to see their before and after pictures and talk to some of their patients.
