Treatments for brown spots on arms and legs? Can you get chemical peel on body?

Asked By:kcpm in Oklahoma City, OK

I am 40 and have a lot of brown spots (especially after self tanner). I now avoid the sun but in my early years unfortunately did not. Can you get chemical peels in your legs and arms? I did the Alex laser and did not see results. Any new lasers to try?
