title: Chemexfoliation as an adjunct to facial rejuvenation.
abstract: Rhytidectomy and chemexfoliation are complementary procedures. The combination of rhytidectomy and chemexfoliation as a one-stage procedure is advocated for the rejuvenation of the aging face. The advantages of the combined technique are stressed. Recognition of the facial T-zone for application of a stronger solution and occlusive mask is noted. Careful selection of patients and technical details of the procedure are outlined.
