thanks for your reply.my scars are mostly box cars and some ice picks/scarred pores but all of them are mild imo.when i go to clinics they just seem to give me very intense treatments when it doesn't seem necessary. iwas thinking about a medium deep peel, but idon't know if there are other options besidesphenol peel

It's hard to say without first seeing your scars. But if they're "mild", phenol peel is not a good fit. Phenols are for more severe scars.

i thought about a sedated peel because i read that the risks are inferior compared to lasers and because i think i have a similar level of scarring but im not really educated

Yes, send me the pics my way.
BTW that picture was taken only 18 day post-op. Way too short. You should ideally wait at least 3 months (6 months is the most ideal). Since she never updated us after that, I guess we can only speculate.
