Summary
Our study involves the evaluation of a high potency chemical peel in its efficacy and safety
profile for the treatment of acne scars. This chemical peel regime is a high potency peel of
70% glycolic acid combined with vitamin C that is purported to provide a good balance between
yielding results and patient safety. We aim to evaluate its efficacy and safety profile of a
single application. The study design is based on a single group that compares pre- vs
post-intervention. 10 patients with atrophic acne scars of skin type I-IV will be recruited.
Potential benefits include improvement of post acne scars with a short downtime and risks
include post peel hyper pigmentation and scarring. We believe that this treatment will be
highly beneficial to patients with post acne scarring.
This chemical peel regime has good efficacy and safety profile for the treatment of acne
scars.
