Abstract

Under the “2001 Guidelines for Chemical Peeling of the Japanese Dermatological Association,” chemical peeling has become a popular dermatological treatment in university and general hospitals and in private clinics. I herein report a retrospective study of 199 acne patients who underwent chemical peeling at my clinic during the last 18 months. Twenty-seven cases were evaluated as excellent, and 105 cases were evaluated as good. Thus, a curative effect among the 176 who completed treatment was 75%. Side effects were observed in 7 cases, with the scab coming off in 2 of these cases. The remaining 5 cases complained of irritation and needed topical steroid. This treatment was proved to be a safe and efficient method for treatment of acne by a medical practitioner.
