Hello, Superficial scars would respond to peeling but deep acne scars which are mainly pitted would not. In deep pitted scars, one needs to release the scars from their underling attachment with the help of needles called submission and after that fill in the dead space so create with artificial fillers or fat to smooth out the surface. However, you can go in for the TCA application as the first step and then consult a plastic surgeon for further procedures which I have mentioned.
