Before getting any kind of service I would recommend you discuss this question with your OBGYN just to be safe.  The green peel is a natural peel derived from plants and herbs so it is safe to receive this peel while pregnant.

The Green Peel lives up to is name and does cause "peeling" of the skin- often up to 5 days.  The effectiveness of the peel is in removing impurities and helping damaged skin.  Acne scars are notoriously difficult to treat and may see limited improvement with a green peel.
