How does laser resurfacing compare with chemical facial peeling?
Laser resurfacing may reduce wrinkles more dramatically than superficial or medium depth chemical facial peels. Laser resurfacing avoids potential heart rhythm disturbances, phenol absorption to the system and system wide toxicity of deep phenol peels. Because laser resurfacing treats the skin a layer at a time, treatment depth can be precise to individual deep wrinkles and facial zones. Precise treatment depth should reduce the risk of tell-tale skin regimentation and scarring sometimes associated with deep phenol peels. On the other hand, deep phenol peel may be the only method of completely eliminating all wrinkles with a single treatment. Few physicians are skillful enough to safely and routinely perform deep phenol peel with complete wrinkle elimination. How does laser resurfacing compare with a face lift? Facelift surgery is an invasive procedure requiring deep facial dissection and is associated with bleeding, stitches, invasive healing by scarring, and bruising. Facelift surger
