Treatments for Sun-Damaged Skin

Prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can significantly harm the skin, leading to what is commonly known as sun damage. This can manifest as changes in skin texture, increased wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation, often making the skin appear aged prematurely. The Aesthetic Wellness Center offers a variety of advanced treatments specifically designed to address and reverse the effects of sun damage, restoring your skin’s natural health and vibrancy. Here’s an overview of the effective treatments available to rejuvenate sun-damaged skin.

Fraxel Laser Treatment

Fraxel is a non-invasive laser therapy providing rejuvenation by targeting damaged skin with microscopic laser columns. It penetrates deep into the skin to expedite your body’s remodeling of collagen. This treatment is especially beneficial for reducing pigmentation, fine lines, and uneven texture caused by sun exposure.

Radio Frequency Skin Tightening

For those looking to improve skin laxity without surgery, the center offers innovative radio frequency treatments. These include Forma skin tightening and Fractora, both of which utilize RF energy to stimulate collagen production beneath the skin. These treatments help to tighten saggy skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, giving a smoother and firmer skin surface.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency technology for fractional resurfacing that reaches the deeper layers of the skin. It’s effective in treating sunspots, acne scars, and other types of skin irregularities, offering a more uniform complexion and texture.

Injectable Treatments

The center also provides a range of injectables that can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and restore lost volume to sun-damaged skin. Options include:

• Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau: These neuromodulators smooth out wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the underlying muscles.
• Restylane and Juvéderm: These dermal fillers can replace lost volume and smooth out the skin, diminishing the appearance of deeper set wrinkles and folds.

Schedule a Comprehensive Skin Evaluation

Before deciding on a treatment, the Aesthetic Wellness Center advises a comprehensive skin evaluation. Dr. Min Ahn and Rebecca Hoffey, a premier aesthetic nurse who has trained under Dr. Ahn, can assess the extent of sun damage and recommend a tailored treatment plan to ensure the best possible results for your skin type and condition.

Each of these treatments offers a way to address specific concerns related to sun-damaged skin, from fine lines and wrinkles to deep pigmentation issues. By consulting with the skilled professionals at the Aesthetic Wellness Center, you can choose the most effective treatment to help your skin look its best. Call (508) 366-2020 to make an appointment.
