Question:

Would chemical peels help to reduce the amount of redness and facial scarring I have from years of acne suffering?

Answer:

The chemical peel I generally use (TCA) does not reduce acne scarring.  I recommend full face CO2 laser resurfacing.  This is performed under general anesthesia in the operating room.  I feel this is the best treatment for non-active acne scarring.
