Sun Damage
Sun exposure is the leading cause of virtually all signs of premature aging, including lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, dark spots and uneven skin texture. Over time, the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light damages the collagen and elastin that give your skin its firm, youthful structure and ability to snap back into place.
Sun damage can also cause pigmentation problems such as “age spots” and uneven skin tone, as well as visible vascularity in the skin. This can include general redness or small visible vessels, in addition to a rough skin texture or dull-looking skin.
What Are Sun Damage Treatments?
The best sun damage treatments work to reverse and prevent signs of aging caused by sun exposure. Two of the most effective sun damage treatments include a customized skincare regimen and broadband (BBL) therapy:
- Medical grade skincare — Consistent use of a personalized skincare regimen aimed at targeting dark spots, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, redness and other signs of sun damage is an essential part of your overall sun damage treatment.
- BBL light therapy — Broadband light therapy is an effective treatment for redness, uneven skin tone, dark spots and more. It targets deeper layers of skin to trigger cell renewal without damaging the surface of your skin.

How Sun Damage Treatments Work
Different types of sun damage treatments work in slightly different ways to achieve a clear, smooth complexion. Some of the best medical grade skincare treatments for sun damage include skin-brightening products like vitamin C and kojic acid, retinoids, barrier repair moisturizers and, of course, sunscreen.
Broadband light therapy, a type of intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, works to treat dark spots, redness and more by delivering pulses of light to the targeted area(s). This process stimulates your skin’s natural production of collagen and other important components, as well as triggers the natural cell renewal process.

Generally speaking, sun damage treatment results develop gradually over time as they begin to stimulate collagen and elastin growth. However, your results will depend on the specific treatment(s) you’ve selected.
Pair your personalized skincare regimen and in-office sun damage treatments with healthy lifestyle habits like daily SPF use, healthy eating, a regular exercise routine and healthy sleeping habits to prolong your results and maintain healthy-looking skin.
