My chin area bothers me so much! It's so uneven looking from the rest of my skin. It's darkened a bit, has scarring, and looks wrinkly really up close. I had aggressive electrolysis done when I was younger. I am 35 and just want a smoother look without the discoloration look (which I believe is from both the scarring and some discoloration). I have a consult with a board-certified derm tomorrow and have no clue what to expect. I had a microdermabrasion done many years ago which did absolutely nothing (had only one treatment but I could tell I needed something a little more significant). I had one Obagi (I think, or TCA peel) peel which didn't do much. I don't even remember my skin peeling afterwards. I posted in the laser resurfacing forum yesterday but honestly, I am way afraid of lasering my face. I was wondering if a chemical peel would help with my issue, maybe a series of a few? Any ideas? Or would I absolutely need something more aggressive?

Yes- try a few very light Glycolic peels. I usually start my patients with %20, then $25%, %30 and maybe even %50 glycolic peels. Please do it in a doctors office. In addition you should use SPF 30 and a bleaching cream (2% Hydroquinone). These treatments are safe even while on Accutane.
