I am from the time when parents only put Zinc Oxide on our noses before spending a day in the San Diego sun. I am covered in spots and freckles that occasionally turn out to be naughty! What laser and or peel goes deep enough to remove them? My décolleté is my main concern.

Answer: For Sun-Damaged Decollete: Consider A Series Of Superficial Peels The upper chest region or decollete (decolletage), similar to the neck, is an area more prone to scarring if treated aggressively, such as with lasers and medium to deep peels. On the other hand, a series of superficial peels can much more safely accomplish the evening out of pigmentation, lightening of freckles and lentigines, and even suppress the formation of or treat early actinic keratoses (sun-damage-related premalignancies). Superficial peeling agents include glycolic or salicylic acid in maximal concentrations, Jessner's solution, or low strengths of TCA. You would be wise to consult with an experienced board certified cosmetic dermatologist who can not only treat the aesthetic issues, but check to be sure that no "naughty" brown spots escape appropriate treatment. Hope this helps and best of luck.
