“…Acne scars were traditionally and indiscriminately treated by ablative techniques, such as chemical peels 1 and dermabrasion, 2 but soon it was noticed that some patients did not show any improvement, even after aggressive procedures. The disappointment led the surgeons to search for new options; various surgical techniques, including laser resurfacing, 3–5 have been used to treat acne scars.…”

“…Urkov beschrieb erstmals Phenol Peels mit Okklusion [44]. In England hatte Mackee 1903 begonnen, Narben im Gesicht mit Phenol zu behandeln, aber erst 1952 die 50 Jahre seiner Erfahrungen [28] veröffentlicht. Im Jahr 1960 folgten Brown [12], 1961 Baker und Gordon [4] mit der Beschreibung einer modifizierten Phenollösung, der Septisol, Krotonöl und Wasser beigemengt wurden.…”

Chemical peels are classified as very superficial (exfoliation), superficial (epidermal), medium (papillary dermal) and deep (reticular dermal). A successful peel depends upon a number of variables, such as choice of the peeling agent, its concentration, and the pressure and frequency of the applications; all must be adjusted to the patient's skin condition. Through standardization of the peeling agents, the level of injury can be determined pre-operatively and complications minimized. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is the most popular peeling agent used in different concentrations. It has the broadest spectrum of indications due to its versatility in combination with other peeling agents. Indications for superficial peels include skin resurfacing, wrinkles, actinically damaged skin, actinic keratoses and benign pigmented lesions. Superficial peels have the advantage that they can be used on most regions of the body. The use of different chemical peels, their varying effects and their potential complications are reviewed. There are at present more than 45 chemical peels with different combinations of agents available on the European market.
