Will a Jessners Peel at Home Improve Boxcar Acne Scars if Not What Will?

Thank you very much for your question. If the scars are indeed very deep and pronounced, Laser Resurfacing may be a better treatment option versus the chemical peel treatments. Fraxel and CO2 laser treatments have shown to work well with acne scar treatment. Be sure to discuss these potential treatment options with your board certified physician. It is essential to make the best selection to remove deep scarring related to acne as this is certainly an area of treatment very specific to your unique skin features.

Jessner peels work very well for certain types of acne scars. Deeply pitted scars will likely respond better to Ematrix and laser resurfacing, whereas lighter scars to chemical peels. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Santa Monica
