Answer: Treating “Skin Spots” What you have is sun induced hyperpigmentation. Many physicians will try a peel. However, if you do only a superficial peel, you only remove some of the abnormal pigment, not all of it. Therefore, it will recur almost the same within a number of weeks. If the peel is deeper, You run the risk of generalized hypo or hyperpigmentation. The way to treat what you have is by use of the Obagi Nu-Derm System or an IPL. Make sure you see someone who is an expert in treating sun damage.
