I spoke to a doctor who told me that my skin is very sensitive and so chemical peeling can ruin my skin. She also said that the chemical peeling is temporary and scars will reappear. I have acne scars and i was hoping to get rid of them through chemical peeling. Will a chemical peel be safe on sensitive skin and will it provide permanent results?

Answer: Chemical peel does not provide permanent results. Thank you for your question! Chemical peel does not provide permanent results. It can only diminish the appearance of some scars. However you can have good results for acne scarring by Fraxel treatment. This treatment eliminates irregular skin discoloration, and stimulates new collagen production, tightening the skin without prolonged recovery. Best of luck!

Answer: Fraxel For Acne Scars Thank you for your question. If you want permanent results, a chemical peel will likely not provide them. At my practice, I have gotten excellent results for scarring with Fraxel. This treatment eliminates irregular skin discoloration, and stimulates new collagen production, tightening the skin without prolonged recovery. After a series of 2 to 4 Fraxel treatments, the cumulative cosmetic improvement is near more aggressive lasers, but unlike more aggressive lasers, redness and swelling eliminated within 2 to 4 days after each treatment. Fraxel is outstanding for fine wrinkles, mild skin laxity, irregular pigmentation, acne scars, surgical scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, age spots and Rosacea. It can be used safely on the face, neck, hands, arms, and chest.
