What are the advantages of laser resurfacing vs. chemical peels?
Lasers give dermatologists greater control, allowing them to focus the beams to more precise depth and location, whereas with chemical peels it’s harder to control the penetration. Patients also have less pain and faster recovery with laser resurfacing. On the other hand, chemical peels can be cheaper, depending on what type you choose, and might be better for your skin type. As always, it’s important to discuss any treatments in great detail with your dermatologist.
