Question: I have always had horrible acne and now have horrible acne scars. I'm very pale with sensitive skin and I'd like to know if a chemical peel would be safe for me and if it would help with the acne and scars. Answer: A chemical peel, if done correctly, is safe and can be helpful. However, the typical glycolic acid peel will never be as effective as laser and laser-like resurfacing methods that include brand names like Fraxel, Profractional and e-Matrix.

Question: What do you recommend to treat acne in teens? My daughter's 14 with very bad acne, but I worry about the safety of procedures like chemical peels and lasers at her age. Answer: Chemical peels and laser treatments may be very effective for some adolescents with acne where parents are trying to avoid having their children take prolonged antibiotics. The issue is not so much the safety of the peels and laser treatments. Recognizing that no treatment is risk-free, you greatly enhance both safety and efficacy by seeing experienced dermatologists for your daughter’s treatment.
