Chemical peels. Which peel provides better results: VI Precision or Jessner Peel?

Question

I presume this question should go out to a dermatologist. Which peel provides better results: VI Precision or Jessner Peel? I have fine lines starting to form on my upper lip. I am an ex-smoker. I am Asian so my complexion is a bit darker. Thank you.

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. 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 discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .

Lines above the lips require lasers and microneedling, which do great in my practice.  The peels are nice for texture and tone but are more of a maintenance skin textural treatment not for lines.  Also the lines above lip do very well with appropriately place filler which does very well with cannula placement, and this limits complications as well.  Best, Dr. Emer.
