So You Have Sun Damage: What Now?

Soaking up some vitamin D is a good thing… when you’ve taken the proper precautions. 

Getting outside and enjoying the sunshine has many benefits for your physical and mental health. But going about it without quality sunscreen can result in damaged skin, signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, and sagging skin.

So what happens when the damage is done? It may be time to take corrective action! Sun damage is a common problem and there are several services to help correct it. Keep reading for a look at a few helpful services for repairing sun damage…

Chemical Peels

Target and treat a wide range of skin imperfections with this non-surgical service! By removing the outermost layer of skin, a new layer of skin can repopulate, reducing the appearance of imperfections like uneven pigmentation and fine lines. 

Chemical peels are designed to enhance your natural appearance with an easy procedure that has hardly any downtime. As a result, you can expect your skin to look more youthful and vibrant than before!

Pro tip! Post-Summer can be a great time to opt for a chemical peel. If you experience more sun damage or skin imperfections during the warmer weather, book with us today for rejuvenated skin tomorrow!

Microneedling

Also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, microneedling is a cost-efficient service that’s great for all skin types. It stimulates the production of new collagen, which gives our skin its structure. 

Microneedling improves skin tone and texture by treating the appearance of aging, scarring, stretch marks, and pigmentation from acne and sun damage, as well as reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation and scarring. It is non-invasive with little downtime and discomfort, and can be used on areas of the skin that peels and laser resurfacing cannot (like around the eyes).

Skin Resurfacing

Struggling with minor scars or skin imperfections? Through dermabrasion, Dr. Lucas can create clearer, smoother, more radiant skin by using a small device to buff away dead and damaged skin, reducing the appearance of imperfections. 

This will help create healthy, natural-looking results without the added discomfort or expenses associated with laser treatments.

Pro tip!  Work exfoliation into your weekly skincare regimen. Helping your skin cells regenerate will expedite improved skin appearance. Adding a Vitamin-C serum or retinoid treatment to 

increase hydration and better protect your skin can also be a great start for anyone looking for an antioxidant or collagen boost. Just make sure to invest in high-quality products!
