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.

Answer: Treatment of Sun Damaged Neck Skin Treatment of sundamaged and photoaged neck skin is always a challenge. My preferred approach is with a series of light to medium strength chemical peels coupled with topical treatments. The neck skin is not the same as facial skin and needs to be treated with care. Scarring and other problems are more common in the neck, so conservatism is best in this area. We have had good success using this combined treatment program.

Answer: Treatment of the sun damamged neck area I would recommend long term maintenance with Retin-A but a series of chemical peels may be beneficial in this particular instance to help improve the decolte area.
