Group A: 15% TCA peel; Group B: 35% GA peel; Group C: Q-switched Nd-YAG Laser. Procedures were repeated at monthly intervals for six sittings. On each visit, patients were scored on the following parameters: color score, visual analog score (VAS), physician global assessment (PGA) scale, subjective improvement, and adverse effects.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A total of 75 patients (25 patients in each group) completed the treatment. The mean age of study-population was 35.68\u2009\u00b1\u20099.8 years, with female to male ratio of 11.5:1. The mean change in color score (1.68) was more by Group A, followed by Group C (1.4), followed by Group B (1.16). Similar results were noted by subjective improvement, VAS, and PGA. Adverse events were more in Group A, followed by Group C, followed by Group B.
