Question

My partner is 23 years old and suffered terrible acne in his teenage years. He has been left with deep ice pick and boxcar scars which really get him down.

Could you tell me an estimate on a deep skin peel that would reduce his scars please?

Or at least tell me the price range on such treatments.

Answer

From your description, it sounds like CO2 fractionate laser treatment may represent a better option.

May I suggest that you contact someone who specialises in laser treatments and get an opinion about this before considering a chemical peel?
