As if acne wasn’t bad enough, this common skin condition is known for leaving behind disfiguring scars that can remain long after acne has been resolved. Many people suffer from these types of scars well into adulthood. Fortunately, a chemical peel for acne scars can help to minimize or eliminate your scarring.
Chemical peels are a type of treatment involving the application of a chemical solution to remove portions of the outer skin layer to stimulate the body into forming new skin tissue that is less affected by acne scars. Peels fall into different categories, based upon their penetration depth. They are also defined by their set of ingredients, concentration strength, and what they treat.
If you have very light acne scars, a superficial type of chemical peel for acne scars may be able to help. In addition to helping minimize light scars, this kind of peel treats enlarged pores and dull complexions.
