Age Spot Treatment: Chemical Peel

January 7, 2011

A chemical peel is just another Age Spot treatment that helps alleviate a skin problem that begins right around age 40 and continues on with what seems increasing frequency over the next few years.

Actually, an age spot – also known as a liver spot or sun spot – are small patches of skin pigmentation that have gone a little wild as they sit there under your epidermis.
