ABSTRACT

Acne scars can not be effectively corrected by a single • treatment modality. By combining modalities they can be significantly improved. Best results are achieved in older female patients, rather • than in young males. Atrophic scars response better than ice-picked and hypertrophic ones. With deeper peels, more significant result are achieved. • The degree of the frosting in TCA peel correlates with the • depth of solution penetration. Full-face deep peels are carried out under full cardiopul-• monary monitoring and intravenous hydration.
