Chemical peels can definitely help with acne scars, especially if they're not too severe. The pitted type scars respond well because the peel removes the top layers and encourages your skin to remodel and fill in those indentations. What you need to understand is that it's usually not a one-and-done situation - most people benefit from a series of treatments spaced out over time. Each peel gradually improves the appearance of the scars. The key thing is making sure your skin is completely acne-free before starting treatment because you don't want to complicate things. Your skin barrier should be healthy and strong. A professional will assess your scar depth and customize the treatment accordingly. Some people combine chemical peels with other modalities for better results.
