facial rejuvenation

Hello,
I am a 32 year old, fair skinned woman, who has some question re: aging skin and rejuvenation.  My skin has had a lot of previous sun exposure (teenager and early 20's), although I have been careful over the past 6 years or so.  I have some visible signs: ie some fine lines around the eyes and some discoloration, elasticity loss. My questions are: 1-is renova safe and effective, are ongoing rejuvenation peels effective, and if so which would you recommend over the other.  2-If I use renova , how long do I need to be off of it before I start the peels? 3-Does Renova affect future pregnancies/birth defects?
Does Renova cause the skin to thin ver time?

Presently I am living in rural alaska and plan on using the renova until I move back to a city (aprox 1 year) and then plan on starting the peels.  

I also have liver spots on my legs that I would like removed-what is the best procedure??

Any suggestions or ideas on the above would be greatly appreciated.
thank you

Renova is safe, and should not interfere with peels.  Glycolic and trichloroacetic acid are good peels.  Renova should not be used during pregnancy, even though it probably poses little risk.  Spots on the legs are probably best lasered off.  This causes bruising for a few weeks, so is best done during long-pants-wearing season.

Best.
