The ‘after’ image reflects post-procedure edema (swelling), which temporarily stretches the skin and makes scars appear flatter. Softer lighting and surface shine further mask texture. Post-acne scars are structural dermal defects. Phenol-croton peels can smooth the surface, but they do not regenerate lost dermis and cannot erase atrophic acne scars and deep wrinkles. Nasolabial folds and under-eye skin improve despite not being treated — changes that point to digital retouching, not peel effects.
