Is laser or chemical peeling better for treating large pores, pimple marks, and tiny bumps on the forehead? (Photo)

Doctor's Answer

Thank you for the question

Chemical peels are an effective treatment for comedones, acne scars and marks. There are also many different types of lasers in the market which can help to treat comedones, acne scars and marks.

The choice of which treatment to choose depends on many factors, including the patient's skin type, skin sensitivity and concurrent treatment or medications used etc. There are also few studies which directly compare the effectiveness of chemical peels to laser treatment.

Topical or oral medication can also be added on to the treatment regime for better control of the condition.

It is best to see your doctor or dermatologist to discuss the risk/benefits of the various different options and to choose the option that is most suitable for your skin.
