Fraxel Laser for Stubborn Brown Spots on the Neck

Michael A. Persky, MD answers: Treatment for stubborn sun damage on neck?

I had sun damage (brown spots) on my neck and forearms treated 2 years ago with IPL (4 treatments). My arms responded great, but my neck only lightened a little bit. Any other treatments recommended? Would a TCA peel or Fraxel be worth trying to improve the discoloration on my neck? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Jenny,

It depends on your skin color and skin type. Fraxel laser has been very effective at treating brown spots on the neck. In San Diego, Dr. William Groff, Dr. Richard Fitzpatrick, and Dr. Steven Cohen are physicians whom you can consult with to determine what might be best for your neck.

Good luck and be well.

Dr. P

You probably need a series of 4-5 light TCA peels such as 10-20% TCA done every 2-4 weeks, alternating with a series of 3-4 IPL treatments together at a cost of roughly $350 each one.
