Will chemical peeling will help to remove acne scars and holes caused by pimples?

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Yes, chemical peels can help to improve the appearance of acne scars, although many people require a combination treatment to see maximum results. Talk with an experienced cosmetic surgeon to help you decide which treatments might be the best approach for your unique situation. You may be able to start with a chemical peel and then see if additional treatments are necessary. Best of luck to you!

Hi, Thanks for your question. Post acne scars responds well for chemical peels with high strength, probably 4 to 6 sessions. Few sessions of Micro needling can also be clubbed with your treatment protocol to enhance the results. But remember all these treatment will give a better looking skin and you cannot completely get away with it. Kindly meet a board specified practitioner to get a safe treatment.
