IPL for Photodamage
This medical therapy uses intense pulsed light to manage the clinical signs of photodamage. For pigmented lesions, specific wavelengths of light are absorbed by melanin, which helps to address areas of hyperpigmentation. The light energy also stimulates neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen), which is effective for improving skin texture and managing laxity.
ENDYMED FSR
This treatment may be suitable for milder cases of sun damage (Endymed Intensif may be suggested for advanced signs). FSR aims to stimulate collagen production and promote skin renewal.
Dermal Needling
Also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, this treatment creates micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production. It can improve the appearance of sun damage. Microneedling is often combined with topical treatments if required for enhanced results.
Medical Skin Peels
Chemical peels use acids to exfoliate damaged skin cells, reduce pigmentation, and improve skin texture. Depending on the extent of the sun damage, they can be superficial, medium, or deep. Peels can effectively treat sun spots and other signs of photodamage.
Endymed Intensif
The device combines radiofrequency energy with microneeding to treat advanced skin conditions, such as skin laxity and sun damage. Endymed FSR may be suggested for milder cases.
Environ Skin Care
Environ products such as the Youth EssentiA range contain vitamins useful for sun damage, along with peptides and antioxidants.
Obagi Medical Skin Care
These medical-grade skincare lines, such as Obagi Nu-Derm FX, contain potent ingredients like vitamins A, C, and E, as well as antioxidants and peptides. They work to reduce hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin tone caused by sun damage while promoting collagen production.
