Sun Spots & Sun DamageWhat are Sun Spots & Sun Damage?
Sun damage encompasses various skin issues resulting from excessive UV exposure, including sun spots, wrinkles, fine lines, and changes in skin texture.
Types of Damage:
- Pigmentation Issues: Includes sun spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone caused by increased melanin production.
- Premature Ageing: Wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin due to the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers.
- Skin Texture Changes: Rough, dry, or leathery skin texture resulting from sun exposure.
- Skin Cancer Risk: Prolonged UV exposure increases the risk of skin cancers, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.
Sun damage is primarily caused by prolonged and unprotected exposure to UV radiation, which can penetrate the skin and cause both immediate and long-term effects.
Ways We Treat Sun Spots & Sun Damage
- Dermapen Skin Needling: The treatment can improve the overall uniformity of the skin’s surface, addressing issues like rough patches, enlarged pores, and minor discolourations.
- Tixel Skin Rejuvenation Treatment: The thermal energy from Tixel targets and helps to break down excess melanin, which causes pigmentation issues like sunspots and age spots. By promoting the turnover of pigmented cells and stimulating the natural healing process, Tixel can help achieve a more even skin tone and reduce the visibility of sun-induced pigmentation.
- RF Microneedling: RF Microneedling enhances collagen and elastin production, helping reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, leading to a more refined skin texture.
- 1927nm Laser: This laser is particularly effective in addressing issues like fine lines, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin texture. It works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process and promotes collagen production.
- 1550nm Nordlys Frax Laser: The 1550nm Nordlys Frax Laser is an effective treatment for sun damage, addressing common issues such as uneven skin tone, pigmentation, fine lines, and skin texture irregularities caused by prolonged sun exposure.
- Enlighten Pico Genesis Laser: The laser helps to even out skin tone by targeting pigmentation irregularities and promoting a more uniform complexion.
- BroadBand Light Therapy: The primary benefit of BBL treatment lies in its ability to rejuvenate the skin by targeting and diminishing the appearance of skin discolourations, promoting a more even skin tone, and enhancing overall skin clarity.
- Erbium Yag Laser: Removes sun-damaged skin layers, reducing hyperpigmentation, age spots, and uneven skin tone.
- CO2 Laser: CO2 laser treatment is highly effective in reducing fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production and remodelling the skin’s surface. The laser works by emitting concentrated beams of light that penetrate the skin, causing controlled micro-damage to the targeted areas. This process removes the outer layer of aged or damaged skin where fine lines and wrinkles are most visible. CO2 laser treatment can effectively address skin discolouration by targeting and removing the outer layers of skin where hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone often resides.
