It’s that time of year again! The sun is out, and the weather is warm. I’m sure you’ve picked out your new bikini for the season and are making plans to lay beachside soon. While you’re packing your beach bag, don’t forget your favorite sunscreen. It’s so important to protect your skin from sun damage. Sun damage occurs when your skin is overexposed to harsh UV rays. The sun’s rays can penetrate even the deepest layers of your skin, causing severe damage that can lead to skin cancer and premature aging. Sun damage causes wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, sun spots, freckles, redness, uneven skin tone, rough skin, and uneven texture.
We know to prevent this damage, we should always wear SPF, but… what if the damage has already occurred? How can you reverse it? Here are 5 ways to reverse sun damage:
1. Microneedling
Microneedling is a form of collagen induction therapy used to improve scars, fine lines, wrinkles, loose or sagging skin, skin texture, pore size, brown spots, stretch marks, pigmentation, and hair growth. At Newman & Company, microneedling is performed using the FDA-approved Skin Pen. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) can also be incorporated into your treatment for increased benefits and better results.
2. Chemical Peel
A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment using acids to “peel” the skin’s surface while stimulating collagen and elastin production, revealing fresh, brighter, more youthful-looking skin. It improves texture, acne scars, pigmentation, and sun damage.
3. Laser Resurfacing
A Carbon Laser Peel, often called a Hollywood Laser Peel, uses carbon gel and a laser to exfoliate and resurface the skin. It reduces fine lines, wrinkles, pore size, pigmentation, and acne scarring.
4. IPL Photofacial
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial is a skin treatment used to reverse sun damage, remove pigmentation, improve skin tone and texture, reduce acne, and diminish redness.
5. Plasma Lift
Plasma Lift Skin Tightening is a non-invasive treatment using a Plasma Pen to tighten and lift the skin. It stimulates fibroblast cells to produce stronger connective tissue, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
