Most effective treatment to even out skin tone?

I am a 39-year-old female and I'm interested to know what latest treatment the doctors would recommend for a smoother, more even-toned facial skin? In particular, I am interested in something that can help remove age spots, pigmentation, larger pores and fine wrinkles, is there a particular laser treatment, chemical peel, or other treatment you would recommend? Many thanks.

Dr Mary thank you for your response, I have just taken a look at your website...and wish I was in New Orleans! (rather than the UK), your work looks incredible (& subtle!). I just wonder if there was one procedure you recommend over the other, I am looking for minimum downtime & have read alot of positive results relating to mild peels (including the Vi peel) do you have any particular peels you would recommend? My skin type is fair. Thanks again
