 What treatments are available for Sun Damage? Which treatments are available depends on the severity and kind of damage done to your skin. There are many products that can help aid in reversing sun damage (ie. Tazarotene, Retinoid, Vitamin A). Chemical peels can also stimulate skin recovery and regrowth of the skins surface. Deeper peels such as trichloroacetic acid and phenol produce more benefit but also carry an increased risk of pigmentary changes or possibly very superficial scarring. Recovery is quicker with the more superficial peels, recovery from deeper peels can take several weeks.
