How Effective is the Vitalize Peel for Fine Lines?

I'm 24 and fair skinned male who used to have acne and now has acne scars. They are mild, and not icepick. I went to my plastic surgeons office and was recommended to have 3 sessions of the Vitalize Peel for the scars, but I was also wondering about fine lines. I know I'm very young and I don't have much wrinkling but I see very early signs of it, mostly under my eyes. I know vitalize is supposed to make wrinkles better, but I would like to know if it would almost elliminate what I have.

However, the deeper the peel, the higher the risks of compication from the procedure (longer post operative redness, and higher risk of pigmentation changes or scarring)... more
