Chemical Peel for Acne and Pimples

Acne and pimples can be improved with mild TCA peels and topical skin treatments. I use the Melaquin PM and Melapads for patients who have simultaneous brown spots from old acne scars. Surgery90210

Dear AcneSufferer
Generally chemical peel, usually 10 to 15% trichloroacetic acid are helpful. These are mild peels that help open up blocked pores.
You did not indicate who is performing your peels or what strength agent is being used on your skin.
There are an number of proven approaches to helping acne. I recommend that you find a board certified dermatologist in you area with an interest in treating acne. I think you will find a comprehensive approach will make a huge difference.

With this type of problem, we would strongly recommend coming in for a consultation so a staff member can take a look at your skin. The most important thing is to not pick at the skin as the pimples are drying up, as that can leave scarring. Chemical peels are a great treatment for active acne, and a good product to supplement the chemical peels at home would be Retin-A, which is a nighttime product that aids in cell turn over and exfoliation.
