Abstract
-
The presence of facial wrinkles can have a significant effect on a person's self image relating to physical appearance and social acceptance. Many treatment modalities for wrinkle reduction, such as surgical method, injection of Botulinum toxin, chemical peeling, and laser peeling have been developed. The resurfacing carbon dioxide laser has recently proved to be a useful and safe tool in the treatment of facial wrinkles. We have attempted to treat pecular perioral wrinkles using a combination of laser and chemical peeling techniques. This combination treatment has resulted in a good cosmetic appearance. We report and encourage use of this method for wrinkle reduction.
