Vitalize Peel from SkinMedica brings the benefits of alphahydroxy and other peeling agents in a unique blend to provide a strong, but gentle treatment that is appropriate for all skin types. It is an appropriate peel for anyone that have sun-damaged, aging, blemish-prone, acne scarring skin, hyperpigmentation, melasma or general poor skin quality.
We would first need to evaluate your scar to determine if the Vitalize Peel is the right peel for you. None of the above is not intended as medical advice. If you have a medical concern, please consult your doctor.

The answer is without seeing the scar it's hard to provide an answer. Fractional Erbium Lasers (1540) provide the best results. Either the VI or Vitalize peel "may" provide some lightening but it could also make the scar appear worse. Skin type, skin color, type of scar, depth of scar, color of scar all play a role and peels need to be applied by a professional in an office setting.
