You spent the summer enjoying all those beautiful sunny days, but you forgot the sunscreen and the moisturizer and ended up on the naughty list. Your skin is now dry and showing the effects of sun damage. The good news is there are a variety of cosmetic treatments that can help treat sun damage, reverse the signs of aging and get you and your skin back on the nice list.
What the Summer Sun Does to Your Skin
While you spent months enjoying time out in the sun, it wreaked havoc on your skin in a variety of ways. You already know that the sun’s UV rays can cause sunburn, which damages the cells of the skin and can lead to skin cancer. But those hot temperatures can do much more.
The dry heat dries your skin and pores while sweating can clog the pores, leading to acne or blemishes. As the summer ends, your skin deserves a good cleaning and repair in order to get that beautiful glow back in time for the holidays.
The good news is many different cosmetic treatments can help to clean, restore and repair your skin, letting you put your best face forward at those holiday parties.
Microdermabrasion
While your summer fun may have landed you on the naughty list, these treatments can get you back on the right list just in time for the holidays.
Microdermabrasion is a good way to provide rejuvenation to your sun damaged skin. By using microscopic crystals, microdermabrasion exfoliates the skin and helps remove dead skin cells from the surface layers.
A vacuum system then removes these layers and crystals, leaving behind a fresh new layer of healthy skin. This can reduce the appearance of sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, acne and age spots.
Microneedling
Microneedling takes advantage of your body’s healing properties in order to repair damage from the UV rays and hot temperatures. A special tool uses hundreds of tiny needles to create channels in the skin that help promote the production of collagen and elastin.
This healing process renews your skin, reducing the sun damage and the early signs of aging. Once the healing is complete, you are left with healthier and more youthful looking skin.
Halo™️ by Sciton
Halo by Sciton is a gentle alternative to traditional laser resurfacing and a great way to reduce sun damage. The Halo system delivers laser energy to the surface of the skin, penetrating the deeper layers and promoting the body’s natural healing response.
Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, Halo has very little downtime. While many people see significant results after 1 session, if you are really on the naughty list, you may need several treatments to get your skin back into optimal shape.
BBL Photofacial
BBL photofacial uses intense pulsed light to treat a variety of skin concerns. The treatment encourages collagen growth, helps to eliminate fine blood vessels responsible for redness and removes melanin that contributes to sun spots.
In addition, it can treat fine lines and wrinkles, improve your skin’s texture and tighten up skin laxity. BBL photofacial requires a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart, with each treatment lasting about 30 minutes.
Don’t let the fun you had over the summer wreak havoc on your skin. You might be on the naughty list now, but there is still time to get you and your skin back on the nice list in time for the holidays.
