Multiple facial issues of veins, sun spots, etc

Steven Wallach, MD answers: Treatment for sun damage, acne, scars, and visible veins?

I am 33 and have significant sun damage from wakeboarding. In addition to fine lines and wrinkles, I have patchy light brown areas below my eyes. I also have some acne scars and red veins below my nose. I also continue to battle against an acne problem. Is there a treatment that will address all of these?

Wake boarding sounds fun!  The sun damage can be treated by so many different things. FIrst you can go on a skin care regimen to help improve the skin color that combines retin-A and hydroquinone. Second you can have IPL treatments.  Third, you can have multiple treatments using lasers taargeting the spider veins.
