Best Treatments for Sun Damage

Sun damage, also known as photoaging, leads to premature wrinkles, pigmentation, rough texture, enlarged pores, and uneven tone. Caused by years of UV exposure, it can make skin look older, duller, and less resilient. At Skin Care Institute, we provide medical-grade treatments that reverse visible damage and restore skin health from the inside out.

Turn Back the Clock on UV Damage With Skin Renewal That Works

We use IPL Photofacials, fractional laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and microneedling to visibly repair and revitalize sun-damaged skin. Our customized plans fade spots, smooth texture, and boost collagen for long-term correction.

What to Expect from Your Sun Damage Treatments

Weeks 1–2

Treatment begins with a comprehensive VISIA™ skin analysis to assess sun damage severity. We often start with a light IPL session or chemical peel to begin lifting surface-level pigmentation and roughness.

✓ Brighter, more even skin tone
✓ Softening of sunspots and discoloration
✓ Gentle exfoliation kickstarts renewal

Weeks 3–5

We progress to more intensive resurfacing, such as Fraxel laser or microneedling with PRP, to stimulate collagen and reduce deeper sun damage. These treatments also improve fine lines and skin texture.

✓ Smoother, more refined skin surface
✓ Reduction in fine lines and rough patches
✓ Increased collagen production and elasticity

Weeks 6–8

As your skin regenerates, we enhance your results with Clear + Brilliant® or follow-up peels. These help fade lingering pigmentation and polish the skin for a more youthful, radiant glow.

✓ Visible glow and luminosity
✓ Even skin tone and improved clarity
✓ Fewer visible signs of aging

Ongoing Maintenance (Monthly or Seasonally)

Long-term protection is key. We create a customized maintenance plan that may include quarterly laser refreshers, antioxidant skincare, and strict SPF use to keep your skin protected and radiant.

✓ Long-term prevention of future sun damage
✓ Maintained skin tone and firmness
✓ Ongoing skin clarity and youthfulness
