Hi there, I am currently investigating either a Chemical peel or Laser Skin Resurfacing, ideally I'd like to spend £1500 (I think about $2200). I have fair and sensitive skin (blue eyes, and light brown hair) and am 38 years old, I would like to know what treatments you would recommend.
Reason for treatment is to ideally diminish lines on forehead and around eyes and also reduce the size of pores, thank you (btw I live in the UK but am happy to travel to the US).
Answer: Laser Resurfacing is probably the way to go

Answer: A combination of both can be beneficial Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Answer: Chemical Peel versus Fraxel If you are looking for a quicker response of treatment then I would suggest you consider the Fraxel Laser. Fraxel is the "magic eraser" and I love this laser. We have had fabulous results with the Fraxel. I do recommend that you consult a board certified dermatologist with experience with Fraxel for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Non-ablative fractional Erbium laser resurfacing is best option for reducing pore size and rejuvenating skin The non-ablative 1540 Erbium fractional laser resurfacing is your best option. This modality goes deeper than the chemical peel and is one of the few treatments that can reduce pore size as well as improve skin texture and fine lines. Ablative laser and chemical peels can increase pore size.

Answer: Laser, or Coblation VS Peel For wrinkle reduction, the gold standard non-surgical treatment would be CO2 Laser. This is excellent but has a very high likelyhood of causing skin depigmentation. It makes wide pores narrower. There is some risk of scarring.
