Chemical Peel Vs. Fraxel Laser for Facial Rejuvenation?

April 19, 2009
Asked By:Gale in Redondo Beach, CA

I'm 45 years old and want to do some facial rejuvenation, especially around the eyes. I was considering Fraxel but have been reading some negative reviews online. They say it could take years for the negative results to show up, and that it causes DNA changes to the undamaged skin. Is Chemical Peel a safer approach? Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you.
