Jessner TCA Peel - Would my acne scarring benefit from that type of peel?

Question

Would my acne scarring benefit from that type of peel? I saw that it was under $100 which is very affordable for my budget and I wondered if it would help my acne scar condition at all. Also I’m assuming it’s large pores but my skin will have a orange peel type texture to it at times. Which is also something I’m looking to treat if maybe the Peel could help that as well

Thank you for your question!  The TCA/Jessner peel is effective for significantly reducing the appearance of acne scarring.  In our practice, we choose multiple modalities to treat scarring, which also include microneedling and laser in order to maximize your results.  It is also important to maintain results with regularly using SPF.

Thanks for your question! Patients with acne scarring and texture such as yours typically would benefit from Jessner/TCA Peel, as this type of peel is a superficial to medium depth peel that will stimulate shedding of the top layer of the skin to reveal a smoother complexion. It is unlikely that you will get the results you’re looking for from one treatment alone, which is why you may want to consider this treatment in combination with other therapies such as laser treatments, LED light therapy, and deeper chemical/retinol peels in order to achieve the best results. As always, it is best to consult with a board certified dermatologist to assess your skin and determine an appropriate treatment plan.
