The TCA cross method is helpful for some deep scars
The TCA cross method is helpful for some deep scars, especially ice pick scars. This has nothing to do with the usual full face peel, but involves deep placement of very concentrated TCA only into deep scars. I have used it with good success, but it depends on the person and the scar

Acne scars need deep peels
Acne scars require a very deep peel of the skin.
The best treatment is Laser Resurfacing of the skin
Peels do not do much for acne scars unless they are deep as in phenol peel. But if you need to go that deep then the laser has better control.
