A member asked:

Which is a more effective treatment for acne scars: chemical peeling or laser skin resurfacing?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Laser is deeper: In general, a deep laser peel will be more effective, but the recovery time will be longer than a moderate chemical peel.

Laser resurfacing: Laser is more effective overall. By using different lasers and laser techniques the depth of surface removed can be finely controlled for optimal response and result. No method is 100% successful.
