- 1). Schedule a consultation to find out how you can look younger by treating age spots. Discover which type of chemical peel is right for you. The depth of the peel depends on the type of chemical and the method of application.
- 2). Look into getting a Jessner peel. It is much gentler, and patients return to normal activities quickly. The chemicals used in the treatment include lactic acid, resorcinol and salicylic acid. Jessner peels improve sun-damaged skin, as well as discoloration, blemishes and acne.
- 3). Ask about a glycolic acid chemical peel to treat your sun damaged skin. The glycolic acid peel is mild, with few side effects and little recovery time. The acids used in this peel are natural fruit, also known as alpha hydroxy, acids. Glycolic acid peels will even out pigmentation irregularities and lighten brown spots, giving the skin a uniform color and texture.
- 4). Learn about the trichloroacetic acid, or TCA, chemical peel. It can be customized to fit your needs, with great results. It is a medium-depth peel that removes the second-outermost layers of skin. It is perfect for those with mild skin problems. It provides an intermediate level of improvement, cost and recovery time.
