A member asked:
I'm getting 50% gylcolic peels to clear acne scars. assuming they can all heal, how many peels would i need to replace all skin layers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Never happens: A properly performed glycolic acid peek should be partial thickness. It should never replace all layers because it should not penetrate to the deep dermis.
