Unfortunately, there are sun spots on my hands, arms, chest and face, too.Repair Sun DamageEven though I take precautions by wearing sunscreen and hats, I still see evidence of photoaging; noticeable dark spots and deepening wrinkles are the chief culprits.Luckily, I know that the medical aesthetics team at Dr. J.
