Sun Damage Repair

Spending as much time in the sun as possible to work on your tan may have seemed like a good idea at the time if you were doing this regularly through the years. As the years progress and you start to notice signs of sun-damaged skin, you may find yourself wishing you could turn back the hands of time and reevaluate your past practices. Fortunately, laser skin resurfacing can be used to reverse signs of sun damage on your skin.

Laser skin resurfacing is a method that is known to be effective at removing these dark spots. During this treatment, the laser energy is directed at the skin. The skin is removed layer by layer as a result. As new skin cells begin to grow to replace the ones that were destroyed by the laser, they will be free from the excessive melanin that caused the spots.

If you have skin that has been damaged by the sun, you should be encouraged by the fact that laser skin resurfacing treatments are available. You should consider having a conversation with our team at Glow By Laser about the feasibility of using laser skin resurfacing to improve your appearance.

The Benefits

Laser skin resurfacing offers a comprehensive solution to addressing sun damage and restoring your skin’s youthful appearance. By targeting the damaged outer layers, this treatment encourages the regeneration of new, healthier skin cells while promoting collagen production, resulting in long-term improvements.

• Removes dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
• Stimulates collagen production to improve skin firmness.
• Enhances skin texture, leaving it smoother and more youthful.
• Non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime.

With the advanced technology of laser skin resurfacing, you can enjoy significant improvements in your skin’s texture and tone, ultimately achieving a more rejuvenated, radiant look.

Treatment

Your treatment will begin with a laser skin resurfacing session, targeting damaged areas to stimulate skin regeneration and collagen production. This helps remove dark spots and improve the texture and appearance of your skin.

Post Treatment

We will provide you with a personalized aftercare plan to maximize the results of your treatment. Our team will also schedule follow-up sessions to ensure your skin continues to heal and improve over time.

What it treats

• Brown spots and age spots
• General sun damage and freckling
• Uneven tone across face, chest and hands
• Dullness and rough texture
• Loss of firmness from sun exposure

Where sun damage actually shows

Almost never only on the face. The chest, the back of the hands, the forearms and the side of the neck take as much sun as the face over a lifetime and get a fraction of the care, which is why treating the face alone tends to produce a mismatch rather than a result.

Sun damage also rarely arrives as one thing. Brown spots, broken capillaries, dullness and loss of firmness turn up together, and they respond to different settings. Treating them as one problem is how people end up disappointed by a treatment that worked exactly as intended on only part of what they were unhappy about.

What to expect

• Brown spots darken before they lift — expect about a week of fine coffee-coloured flecking across the treated area
• Let it flake away on its own. Picking at it is how a good result turns into a mark
• Pink and warm for a few hours on the day
• Little to no downtime otherwise
• A course gives an even result across an area; one session treats the spots you can already see

Before you book

• No recent sun and no tan. The treatment reads a tan as pigment to be treated, which is how a session turns into a burn
• Autumn and winter are simply the easier seasons for this
• Daily SPF between sessions and afterwards, or the pigment comes back
• Anything on your skin that is changing shape, colour or size should be seen by a dermatologist before any laser goes near it. We will refer rather than treat
