Is chemical peel vs microdermabrasion better for moderate acne scars and sun damage?

There are many types and strenghts of chem peels which work great for discolorations and sun damage but still usually need to be done 4-6 times.  Microdermabrasions do well to maintain your complexion once the peels get it to where you like it.

Thank you for your message! Microdermabrasion and chemical peels are both great options for overall skin complexion. Microdermabrasion is more of a physical exfoliate whereas chemical peels are a chemical exfoliate. Stronger chemical peels are typically more effective than microdermabrasion. Brown spots, or age spots, can soften in color with chemical peels. Typically for deeper pitted acne scars, microneedling and/or laser resurfacing is needed to give a more dramatic result! I would recommend a consultation with a provider in your area for further assessment!
