I've got scars due to pimples but not too much. I want permanent solution to get rid of the scars. Is chemical peel a permanent solution? If not, what are treatments are available without any side effects?

Answer: Acne scars Peels and laser can be effective for smoothing acne scars, but it's rarely a one time treatment. The less aggressive/risky the procedure, the more times it generally needs to be repeated to get a complete response. The way peels and lasers work is to mildly injure the skin. In the weeks to months after the procedure, your skin builds collagen which helps smooth the appearance. It usually takes 3-6 months to see final results after a single treatment.

Answer: Peel might be one of the options A series of clinical strength peels (on average, 3-6 peels) may help to reduce scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Unfortunately, a permanent solution does not exist. The best approach is to take control of the situation with corrective products, peels, Acleara, etc. When your acne becomes well managed, consider alternating with microneedling treatments or Fraxel to further improve texture and reduce scarring.

Answer: Acne scars: chemical peel , fractional Hi There and thank you for your inquiry! Chemical peels like salicylic acid can help to clear any active acne and help to lighten any post inflammatory pigmentation.There will be slight redness, tightness and peeling which usually last 5-7 days depending on the depth of the peel being used.Another option to treat acne scars is laser resurfacing or non-ablative fractional laser, in which this will treat any textural issues, such as icepick or boxcar acne scars (depressed scars). There is minimal downtime with fractional, usually 2-3 days of redness and 6-8 treatments are usually required to improve the appearance of acne scars.Hope this has helped!
