Abstract:
Complications of chemical resurfacing may occur even though a controlled chemical wound has been induced. The surgeon must be totally familiar with the types of peels and the management of postoperative wound care based on the skin type of the patient. A thorough understanding of the concepts involved will enable early treatment and avoidance of permanent sequelae, such as pigmentary dyschromias, infection, or scarring.
