Sun Damaged Skin

How would we describe Sun Damaged Skin

As the name suggests your skin would have been subjected to the harmful UVA and UVB rays, even under a cloudy sky!

Your skin is likely to be pigmented with a variety of skin tones ranging from light to darker patches and will most probably make you look older than you actually are because sun damage causes premature ageing of your skin. Your skin can have a rough texture to it and in worse cases often be referred to as looking like leather. Unprotected skin will also suffer from unsightly red veins.

Many people do not realise or appreciate how bad this problem can be and we can show examples of this in our skin scanner at the clinic, where the right side of the face has suffered more than the left. Why is that they ask? We explain what happens when driving long distances on a sunny day even with the window closed.

Typical questions asked about Sun Damaged Skin and our recommendations

This is without doubt one of the biggest problems we face today as a result of climate change, increased holidays abroad, more outdoor activity, soft top convertible cars, even our alfresco lunches.

Treatments Recommended for Sun Damaged Skin

Glycolic Peels

These Glycolic Peels help lighten the Pigmentation and refine any coarseness. We can graduate the intensity of the peel to match the pigmentation density problem presented to us.

Intense Pulse Light (IPL)

IPL will work well on the darker patches of sun damaged skin especially on the face and hands. These patches of pigmentation are often referred to as Age Spots and can be effectively treated with IPL and Laser.

Combined Facial Therapy (CFT)

CFT is where we combine product based and technology based treatments together and is probably the most popular and effective treatments we do. The two elements enable a variety of skin blemishes/issues to be cleared at the same time so the CFT treatment maybe just right for you too.
