IPL or Chemical Peel for Sun Damage & Redness/thread Veins?

divalou
Hi, I've been for a skin analysis & have discovered that I have quite a lot of sun damage, particularly under my eyes and over my top lip. I also have some redness/thread veins around my nose and some on my cheeks and bridge of my nose. I also am naturally freckley and want to brighten up my skin. I don't really have any wrinkles yet. I'd like to know which treatment is better for my skin, IPL or a mild peel? Thanks Louise
