A member asked:
Can a chemical peel reverse sun damage to skin such roughness and spots?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes.: Chemical peels are one option for reversing sun damage. There are others as well, such as laser dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, and various fractional laser treatments. See a dermatologist who does these kinds of cosmetic procedures. Keep in mind that insurance seldom if ever pays for treatments like these.

Reverse sun damage: Chemical peels are a great way to reverse sun damage and correct textural and pigment irregularities to smooth out the tone and complexion of skin. A cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist are best options to discuss peel options and treatment schedules.

Yes: There are different peels available. I like the ones containing Retin-A and hydroquinone or abutase for removing sun spots.
