Asked By:Reema in Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

I consulted a cosmetics clinic after suffering from acne scars and old acne spots. after performing fractional laser on my whole back caused severe pigmentation in the acne spots and it looks terrible. I would like to know if chemical peeling is possible for the body? (back or shoulders) to enhance my problem and get rid of the pigmented spots?
