Abstract

People who suffer from severe acne are more likely to develop acne scars, which may significantly impact their quality of life. People who have dealt with acne vulgaris know all too well the pain of acne scars. For those working in the field of dermatology and cosmetics, they provide a significant difficulty. For many years, chemical peels have been one of the most popular aesthetic treatments offered by medical professionals. A chemical peel is a procedure that involves carefully removing layers of skin from the body by applying a chemical agent to the skin, the intensity of which may be adjusted. One method of skin resurfacing is chemical peeling, which uses exfoliants to bring back healthy skin cells. It has a long history of use in the treatment of several skin problems, including acne vulgaris. It is common practice to categorize chemical agents into three levels: superficial, medium, and deep peels, according to their different modes of action. By lowering the stratum corneum's barrier function, chemical peels increase the penetration and absorption of further topical treatments. These features, together with the fact that superficial peels are risk-free and compatible with other acne treatments, contribute to their high popularity.
This article's overarching goal is to assess chemical peeling's efficacy in reducing the appearance of acne scars.
