Abstract
Chemical peel and dermabrasion have been time-tested modalities for treating cutaneous imperfections. These techniques provide a reliable and effective means for treating superficial and deep skin imperfections associated with aging and long-term sun exposure. With significant experience, these procedures offer a predictable and uniform result. However, significant variability exists with each of these techniques and, in the hands of a less experienced and less skilled surgeon, procedural variability becomes a significant factor. The advent of new technologically advanced carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) lasers has provided a new means to exfoliate tissue. With computerized scanning devices, significant reduction of the inherent technique-dependent variability is possible. This provides a more controlled and uniform level of tissue exfoliation and potentially more reliable and improved results.
