So far I have been advised by different practitioners that the following is best for me! Laserscope LYRA ND: YAG, Excel, Fractora, V Beam, Gemini and Limelight. Prices range from $280 to $820 for a full face. I want to weep! I am in my 60s with reasonable skin but have an ongoing and fluctuating issue with redness one way or another. I have a limited budget but realize the 'cheapest' may be false economy. HELP!

Treatment of dark spots and age spots can be performed with fractional laser and Covalent chemical peels. I would start with the Kareskin brightening kit with Melarase AM and Melarase PM with Melapads.
