The patient had acne scars [Fig 13-5A). He had been previously treated with 30% salicylic acid and 50% glycolic acid peels without improvement. We decided to perform three 30% TCA peels at 4 week intervals. Photoprotection with SPF total block was recommended and alpha hydroxyacids were prescribed for topical apphcation 4...
