NYC Chemical Peel Doctor Recommendations

jerzyJul 9, 2009
I am a white 60-year-old male and my forehead coloration is uneven with darkish spots (apparently due to sun damage). I would like to have a peeling treatment to remove discoloration. The best time for me to get this treatment would be between mid-July till mid-August. Does anyone know an experienced physician in the New York City area and an estimation of cost?
