A member asked:
I have a few acne scars localized to my middle right cheek (about a 3 inch area)...have chemical peels been shown to be effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne scars: Chemical peels, when performed by a trained practitioner, may help reduce the appearance of acne scars, but will not eliminate large or deep scarring. Laser therapy may be more effective.
