What is the major difference between peels and laser resurfacing?
A. Peels and laser resurfacing are used to treat different depths of facial wrinkles. Some peels, such as the BioMedic MicroPeel® and the Bio Genesis® DermaPeel™ microdermabrasion system, provide light exfoliation, which can treat fine lines, smooth out skin tone, and make skin feel softer. Deeper peels simply treat deeper wrinkles and are good for people who do not yet need laser resurfacing. The deepest wrinkles generally require skin resurfacing with a CO2 laser. You should be aware that recovery time increases with the depth of the treatment.
