I’m in my 50’s and my skin is showing signs of sun damage.

Question:
I’ve lived in California all of my life, and now that I’m in my 50’s my skin is showing signs of sun damage.  Is a chemical peel my best option for lessening these effects?

Answer:
If you have lived in Southern California all of your life it is likely your skin is now showing signs of sun damage in your early 50’s.  Chemical peels are a good option to start with in order to correct some of the irregularities of your skin.  If the damage is more severe, then Fraxel laser treatments or deeper chemical peels may be necessary to really correct the damage to your skin caused by excessive sun exposure.
