What are alternatives to Fractional CO2 Resurfacing with less cost and down time?

ke44
I am 44 and have been getting the Fractional CO2 Resurfacing yearly for last 3 years. Due to cost and long down time, I am seeking an alternative maintenance regimen that produces comparable results. I was told a chemical peel a few times per year may be a good replacement. Thanks for any feedback.
