Parisian Secret If a person has facial skin that has been damaged by the sun, there are methods to prevent early signs of aging. Laser treatments, chemical peels, and dermabrasion are viable options. Anyone can get one of these treatments, or combine it with another treatment. Skin that is sun-damaged may also be cared for with a nonsurgical facial. This type of facial uses mild acids (hydroxyl acid or ascorbic acid) to gently remove the top layer of damaged skin.
