Sun Damage Treatments

Sunlight contains ultraviolet rays that are harmful to healthy skin. Years of exposure leads to damaged skin that is wrinkled, discolored, and loose. Fortunately, there are many treatment options to reverse the effects of sun damage.

The gold standard for photorejuvenation of the skin is fractional skin resurfacing. The Fraxel re:store laser treats photodamaged skin, facial wrinkles, and fine lines, all of which are affected by the sun. It produces dramatic results after a single treatment, but also gradually improves with each additional treatment. There is limited to no downtime with this treatment. Fractional CO2 resurfacing is usually a one time treatment that produces skin tightening as well dramatic improvement in facial wrinkles, fine lines and general skin texture. Downtime with this treatment is usually less than one week.

Fraxel and Fractional CO2 treatments can also lead to smoother, healthier looking skin even without sun damage.
