A member asked:
If i get a chemical peel for my back and arms for acne scars will it make them go away or just lighten up if i do 4 tretmeants with a light peel?

Chemical peel acne: Generally, chemical peels treat active acne or acne prone skin. Salicylic acid peels are very effective. While the peels may help pigmentation and redness, they are often not very helpful for deep scars. Dermabrasion remains the gold standard.
