The best peels for scars and acne marks

The chemical peeling to treat scars and acne marks usually consists of applying acids to the facial skin, which help to eliminate and regenerate the outer layer of the skin. Different types of acids can be used:

Chemical peeling with lactic acid

It is the mildest acid of all and has the most superficial effect. It has the ability to exfoliate the most superficial layer of the skin in a non-abrasive way. With a bactericidal effect, it manages to eliminate dead cells, deeply cleaning the pores and promoting skin regeneration.

Chemical peeling with glycolic acid

It is a natural substance derived from sugar cane. This acid has great exfoliating, regenerating, and moisturizing power and is capable of stimulating skin regeneration very effectively.

Chemical peeling with salicylic acid

It is one of the most used to treat scars and acne marks due to its antiseptic and antibacterial properties. Additionally, it has a powerful sebum-regulating effect, making it especially indicated for oily skin.

What do acne scars look like after a chemical peel?

It's normal to notice slight redness, dryness, and tightness in your skin after a chemical peel for acne scars. A few days later, your skin will begin to peel, a process that can last around 5-6 days. Afterward, your skin will have a smoother texture, with reduced scarring and blemishes.

Can you get a peel if you have active acne?

Chemical peels are not performed on active acne under any circumstances. We cannot apply the treatment if your skin is inflamed, has pus, or is oozing. We will be happy to see you once the breakout has subsided and your dermatologist has given you the go-ahead.
