}Superficial (cutaneous) chemosurgery refers to the application of chemical cauterants, such as phenol or diluted trichloroacetic acid, for the destruction of the epidermis and uppermost dermis of aging, wrinkled, and sun-damaged skin, followed by healing, with the replacement of these tissues by new epidermis and new dermal connective tissue. This results clinically in an improved texture and appearance of the skin and a decrease in fine and moderate wrinkling. Histologic findings after the… CONTINUE READING
