Abstract

Multiple dermatological interventions may be combined with deep phenol-croton oil peeling to improve different facades of severe skin aging and severe acne scars. To achieve uniformity of skin tone, combination treatment with medium-depth chemical peeling with Jessner’s solution and 35% trichloroacetic acid, Q-switched frequency-doubled Nd-YAG (532 nm) or Q-switched Nd-YAG (1064 nm) LASERs are possible effective options. To further enhance rejuvenation treatment, individualized correction of facial lipoatrophy, facial sulci, and depressed scars can be performed with multiple injectable dermal and subcutaneous fillers such as polymethyl methacrylate, poly-l-lactic acid, and hyaluronic acid. Deep hyperkinetic facial lines resurfacing is maximized and maintained by adjuvant treatment with botulinum toxin A injections. This chapter describes how to better combine different treatments and focuses on up-to-date alternatives for the classical peeling formulas and combination treatments. Specific limitations, contraindications, preparation, and post-peeling regimens are described.
