CO2 Laser Vs Exoderm Lift for Acne Scars?

I was planning have CO2 laser treatment for my acne scars but I've read that Exoderm lift (phenol-based chemical peel) is the most effective technique. So I can't decide. Could you compare CO2 and Exoderm lift?

I do not feel that a phenol peel has any place in the treatment of acne scars.

A combination of subcision (if appropriate) and laser consistently give by far the best results in my clinic. Lasers are much more precise and much less likely to cause hypopigmentation.
