TCA peel is better than IPL for wrinkles

Stephen Prendiville, MD answers: 35% TCA peel or IPL Laser for wrinkles on male face?

Which one of these 2 procedures would you recommend for facial wrinkles for males? Especially under the eyes? I have a fair/light skin, age 37.

Technically speaking, IPL is not a laser but a light based treatment using a broad spectrum of scattered light to address brown spots and broken blood vessels.  TCA 35% would be more appropriate for wrinkles because it is a medium depth chemical peel, designed to regenerate your skin.
