Treatment for Stubborn Sun Damage on Neck?

October 18, 2009
Asked By:jenny22 in San Diego, CA

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.
