Is a chemical peel reccomended for acne scars?
By hk7000 on 15 Feb 2010
I have a few scars/blemishes from acne, etc. Would a light chemical peel help with this? Are there any side effects? I am too scared to use Retin-A, sooo any other ideas? Also, how effective is the VI peel?

Hi hk7000,
There are lots of treatments available for acne scars. Unfortunately, there is no "tried and true", 100% perfect answer and you'll see a lot of debate between doctors and patients alike about what's the best. Laser treatments (of many different types: Fraxel, Erbium, ActiveFX, CoolTouch, and others) are recommended a lot, as are all kinds of chemical peels.
