AB AT-A-GLANCEChemexfoliation  agents  are  broadly  classified  into  superficial,  medium,  and  deep  peeling  agents  according  to  their  depth  of  penetration  and  histologic  injury.Preoperative  evaluation  of  skin  type,  degree  of  photoaging,  and  underlying  skin  disorders  is  critical  in  safeguarding  against  potential  complications.Appropriate  patient  selection  and  choice  of  procedure  are  critical  to  success.Keratocoagulation,  evidenced  by  a  white  frosting  of  the  skin,  is  generally  regarded  as  the  desired  clinical  end  point  of  chemical  peeling  with  trichloroacetic  acid.Mechanical  resurfacing,  which  includes  microdermabrasion,  manual  dermasanding,  and  motorized  dermabrasion,  is  an  effective  method  for  treatment  of  scars.Infection,  prolonged  erythema,  pigmentary  alterations,  and  scarring  are  potential  complications  of  resurfacing  procedures.
