Do chemical peels and CO? laser treatments help in permanently removing pimples?
Chemical peels and CO? laser treatments can help improve acne, but they do not permanently cure pimples because acne is often a long-term condition related to hormones, oil production, and skin type. Chemical peels (using mild acids) help by removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and reducing mild acne and marks, while the fractional CO? laser is mainly used for acne scars and skin texture rather than active pimples. For long-term control, doctors usually recommend medical treatments such as topical creams like Adapalene or Benzoyl Peroxide, and sometimes oral medicines if acne is severe. These procedures can be useful as add-on treatments, but work best when combined with proper skin care and ongoing medical therapy. It is important to consult a dermatologist to choose the right treatment plan based on your skin type and severity, as consistent care is key to preventing recurrence.
