Chemical Peels: Panel Discussion

Edwin Cortez, Fred Fedok, and Devinder Mangat address questions for discussion and debate. Do you agree or disagree, and why, with the following: “The best method to improve moderate to deep rhytids is the croton oil–phenol peel.” “There are no problems with cardiotoxicity with croton oil–phenol peels if done appropriately.” “Do not do spot testing with chemical peel agents.” How do you handle peels in advanced Fitzpatrick skin types III, IV, V? What is the main factor for rate of reepithelialization: (1) depth of peel, (2) depth of laser, (3) depth of dermabrasion? How has your approach to or technique in chemical peels evolved over the past several years?
