Is a Phenol Peel Too Drastic for my Issues (Wrinkling, Skin Cancer Scar)? Would Laser Be a Better Choice??

I am 50 with several skin concerns I would like to get resolved. The wrinkles that bother me most are: bridge of nose between eyes, wrinkling and laxity under eyes, and slight wrinkling of labial folds (I have Radiesse every 1 1/2 to 2 years). I have a large scar down the side of my nose and asymmetry of one nostril after mohs surgery, with a few broken capillaries. Is a phenol or TCA peel, or laser a better choice? The wrinkles are the main concern but reducing scar would be nice. Thanks
