Who do you recommend should get a chemical peel procedure?

Question:
Who do you recommend should get a chemical peel procedure? I have a lot of fine wrinkles around my mouth and a few new age spots I would like to remove them. I am 48 years old, male and a smoker.

Answer:
For the type of skin issues that you are concerned with, my aestheticians can perform a light chemical peel on you to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and reduce the age spots. If the wrinkles turn out to be deeper and the age spots do not respond to the lighter and more superficial chemical peels, then a deeper chemical peel, a Fraxel laser treatment, or perhaps IPL will be needed to address your concerns more thoroughly. The more invasive procedures are performed by either me or my physician’s assistant.
