Chemical Peel

Throughout my teen years, I've developed pretty bad acne (fortunately not cystic) that, unfortunately, has left me with minor deep scarring (a.k.a "pockmarks" as most would call them).  Considering the industry I work for, it's pretty much a requirement to have flawless skin.  Frankly I'm tired of being a guy who puts on foundation everyday to cover up these atrocities.  I'm on a home exfoliating regimen, which barely helps, so I'm thinking of the chemical peel route.  Before I risk burning my face and having it turn into beef carpaccio for a while, what are the long-term effects a chemical peel can have on the skin?  Are there other options?  

I appreciate your help.

Hi,

The chemical peels remove the superficial layer of the skin to give a renewed appearance to the face.

By and large, such procedures done under the care of certified medical professionals is considered safe. However, like all other treatments, there are  some risks involved in th treatment. These may include rashes and sun burns which may be mild to severe.

The doctor who undertakes this procedure, would explain to you the risks involved as well as the benefits that this procedure has.

On the other hand, in case you have pitting on the face, Microdermabrasion would be a better method to smoothen the skin.

Hope this helped, let us know if you may need any more information.

Best regards
