Treatment Options for Sun-Damaged Skin

We all love soaking up the sun—whether it’s on the beach, at the golf course, or simply enjoying a walk outdoors. But too much sun can take a serious toll on your skin. I often see clients worried about the effects of sun damage on their skin, from fine lines and wrinkles to dark spots and rough texture. The good news? There are effective treatment options that can help restore your skin’s health and beauty so you can enjoy the sunshine without regret.

Understanding Skin and Sun Damage

Sun exposure can lead to long-term skin damage. Over time, UV rays break down collagen and elastin, leading to premature aging, sagging skin, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture. Even if you’ve been diligent with sunscreen lately, past damage can catch up with you. That’s why addressing skin and sun damage isn’t just about prevention—it’s about correction.

Chemical Peels for Sun Damage

Chemical peels for sun damage work by removing the outermost layers of damaged skin, revealing fresher, healthier skin underneath. They can improve the appearance of fine lines, reduce dark spots, smooth rough patches, and even out skin tone.

At our med spa, we use SkinMedica peels, which come in various strengths depending on your skin’s needs. Whether you’re looking for a light refresh or a deeper resurfacing, chemical peels can dramatically improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin and leave you glowing.

Skincare Products That Support Healing

In addition to in-office treatments, I always recommend using medical-grade skincare products at home to maintain and enhance your results. SkinMedica skincare products, for example, are designed to nourish and repair skin that has been affected by sun exposure. Products with antioxidants, retinols, and peptides can help rebuild collagen, fade discoloration, and protect against further skin damage from the sun.

A tailored at-home routine ensures you’re not just treating the damage you see but also strengthening your skin for the future.
