I got this scar years ago, I live in Toronto and have Ontario health insurance (govt) plus employer health insurance but I highly doubt this kind of fix would be cleared and I want to know if this can be done by chemical peels creams, if not what would be the best treatment for this?

Answer: Chemical peels can minimize the appearance of scars, but will probably not eliminate yours. You might benefit from other med spa therapies, such as laser treatment. You are correct that insurance generally does not cover cosmetic procedures except under very specific circumstances. Using creams and home remedies will not help to diminish your scar and could, in fact, make it worse by darkening it. Book a consultation with a reputable medical spa to find out which procedure or procedures would work best.

Answer: Laser is better solution Unfortunately, health insurance does not cover cosmetic treatments and procedures. Creams and at home remedies would not remove your scar. I would suggest you to avoid at home remedies and treatments to desist from further complications and pigmentation. Make an appointment with your local dermatologist to get adequate treatment. Chemical peels can be effective in minimizing scars and spots but would not remove your scar. Another solution for you would be laser. I can see Fraxel or Picosure laser working better on your scar than Chemical peel. Good luck!
