I've long struggled with acne since high school and it has been about 7 years now and I suffer from a lot of small holes/scars on my cheeks and temples. I do not want to get laser resurfacing done and I'm hoping peels will provide a good solution. I've attached pictures below.

Answer: Improving Acne and Scars with Peels, Lasers, microneedling/prp, skin care, blue light, subcision, fillers I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist for treatment for active acne and scarring. A combination approach is needed for improvement with lasers, microneedling/prp, subcision, fillers, blue light, peels and skin care. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Acne Scars and Chemical Peels Chemical peels can be very helpful with acne scars, as they peel off the outer layers of skin to reveal fresher, smoother skin. For deeper, more effective treatments, however, we offer other treatments in addition to light and more aggressive laser resurfacing. Microneedling, with or without radiofrequency, can provide significant improvement of acne scars without major downtime. We offer four types: Collagen Pin, Infini, Endymed Intensif, and Intracell. For deeper, indented acne scars, we offer Bellafill-- the only injectable dermal filler that is FDA-approved for facial acne scars. It uses collagen gel to lift deeper acne scars to the level of the surrounding skin. Most patients report results lasting up to a year or longer. Subcision also helps to break up the bands of scar tissue that pull scars inward. For red scars, pulsed dye laser or intense pulsed light treatments can help. This doesn’t involve laser skin resurfacing or any down time, but could be beneficial. It is best to schedule a face to face consultation with your dermatologist to discuss the best option for you.
