It's : It's hard to say without seeing your scar, but it's unlikely that a facial peel would help with your childhood scar. There are other methods of performing scar revision, including excising the old scar and/or dermabrasion. These can both be done with local numbing medication in an office setting.

Sometimes: It depends on the scar. Seek a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Other "less invasive" options also exist, but the most important thing to consider is the likelihood of improvement.
