Hello, I am 65 and of very fair complexion (Irish)I have very very deep set wrinkles from too much sun exposure over the years. I am confused as to which procedure would provide the best overall outcome. I have researched dermabrasion, fractional lasers, and phenol peels should I consider a combination of treatments? Not concerned about down time or anesthetic. Just retired and am looking forward to the next decade being the best yet, hoping to look as good as I feel!
