Chemical Peels May Be Helpful
Chemical peels refer to a board range of chemical treatments of the skin. Some of these may be appropriate for treating certain acne scarring. A chemical peel involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which then is left on for a certain amount of time. The peel dissolves tissue cells, spurring the growth of new tissue, while improving the look and texture of the skin. The dead cells then slough off, revealing new skin cells.
Topical treatments such as Retin-A, alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), or glycolic acids may also be used to remove some of the superficial layers of the skin and improve skin texture.
