Chemical peels

[sacback]

Dermatologists sometimes use light chemical peels of glycolic acid mixed with other chemical agents to loosen blackheads and minimize acne papules (inflamed comedones that are firm, pink, and tender to the touch). Mild scarring can also be treated in this way. The procedure allows new, regenerated skin to form, improving overall appearance

Can you help me out by letting me know some peals I need to ask my Doctor about which would really help me out in making my skin free of scars and acne.

This sounds great, but what are the risks and possible side-effects?

I´ve seen it and it looks bad right after, but then it looks better. The only thing is I heard is painful. After all, is pretty much burning the skin so the new one comes out.

I had a close friend that got a chemical peel, and her face looked so horrible immediately after. It was as red as a lobster, and she said that it hurt a lot. It looked great a week later though.
