Melanage Peel for Acne Treatment?

I recently had a Melanage peel to reduce melasma I incurred after fertility treatments. I saw little improvement in the Melasma, but dramatic results in pore size and breakouts.

What part of the Melanage peel worked for acne (the peel itself or month long follow up)? I have tried numerous peels, lasers & products over the years to no avail. I'd like to have another peel (it's been 6 months and the breakouts are starting again) but hate to spend more money for a peel meant for melasma to cure my acne.
