We come into the world with plump skin full of collagen and no freckles. But, it doesn’t take long for age and the sun to significantly affect our skin and cause sun damage. These effects show up as wrinkles, sun spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone. Many people want to improve the appearance of their skin. There are now multiple nonsurgical treatments that can improve your skin’s appearance and help diminish sun damage.
Not everyone is comfortable with having elective surgery. Such surgeries are not usually covered by insurance, so cost may also be a factor. In this article, we will look at nonsurgical, more affordable treatments for sun damage, such as chemical peels, laser treatments, and microneedling.
#1 Chemical Peels
Chemical peels eliminate the top layers of skin to reveal fresh, undamaged skin. The concentration of chemicals used can be personalized for your personal skin needs. Chemical peels can be used on your face, neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs. If you have spent a lot of time in a swimsuit on the beach, this is a great way to rejuvenate the skin on several areas of your body.
#2 Laser Treatments
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment – IPL is also known as photorejuvenation. It is not technically a laser but is often grouped with laser treatments as an option. A handheld device is used to deliver highly concentrated pulses of light to the treatment area. It treats deeper layers of the skin and is non-ablative. The results will not be as dramatic as other treatments, but the texture and appearance of your skin will be improved. It also promotes collagen production which keeps your skin looking healthier and younger.
- HELIX Laser Resurfacing – Here at Fountain of You we use the HELIX laser as one of the available treatments for skin damage. This treatment uses ablative and non-ablative lasers to treat the superficial and deeper layers of skin. CoolPeel is a popular, award-winning HELIX treatment. It is a fractional ablative treatment that removes damaged layers of skin. To see what a difference, HELIX can make, click here.
#3 Microneedling
Fountain of You now offers multiple Microneedling services depending on your needs. Microneedling uses tiny needles to create tiny punctures in your skin. This treatment stimulates elastin and collagen production. Popular services for skin damage include the Empower RF by Inmode, the Morpheus8, and the Morpheus8 Body. We can treat your face, as well as your body with microneedling to rejuvenate any area that has sun damage. It improves skin texture, reduces sun damage, and can treat acne scars.
