Cosmetic defects such as pitted scars and unsightly pigmentations may affect the mental well-being and the economic opportunities of a person. The removal or improvement of cosmetic defects is always a problem. Fig. 1.-Patient was 31 years of age and suffered from a severe pustular acne for ten years, which resulted in deep pitted scars. Patient was otherwise in good health.We here describe procedures which we have found efficient in obliterating or lessening such disfigurements.The so-called skin peeling procedure is used in the treatment of chloasma, marked freckling, excessive oiliness, recalcitrant cases of acne vulgaris, rosacea, and to improve the tone of the skin. It is also beneficial after scarification for the improvement of pitted scars from acne vulgaris, smallpox and chickenpox.The term "skin peeling" connotes an artificially produced exfoliation of the corneous layer, sometimes extending beyond, caused by various chemical or physical measures.
