Summer time is fun, relaxing and makes fond memories for many people. Summer, unfortunately, can also leave it’s mark on your skin. Enjoying outside activities and vacations leads to a higher UV exposure and, subsequently, sun damage. Over time, the damage to your skin appears in many forms including freckles, skin discoloration, hyperpigmentation (dark spots), fine lines, and/or wrinkles, and can lead to premature aging.
Fortunately there are ways to reduce, or even reverse, sun damage. Here are options that are available at our San Jose MedSpa to effectively address sun damaged skin.
Foto Facial or Laser Facial
- Targets the deepest layers of skin to stimulate collagen, which promotes healthy looking skin.
- Lightens dark spots and other pigmentation.
- Creates a smooth skin surface and decreases pore size.
- Good treatment for broken capillaries, mottled pigmentation, and the symptoms of rosacea.
- A series of 5-6 regularly scheduled treatments will yield best results.
VibraDermabrasion
- A progressive resurfacing procedure that uses paddles that vibrate at a high speed to exfoliate the topmost layer of skin cells (a mechanical exfoliation).
- Reduces sun damage, age spots, fine lines, acne scarring, and discoloration.
- The skin is immediately smoother and glowing; it encourages new collagen growth long term.
- A series of 6 treatments at regular intervals is recommended for best results.
Facial Mask Peels
- Glycolic or Salicylic chemical peels can improve skin’s clarity and enhance overall appearance.
- Peels can result in reduction of unwanted pigmentation, fine lines, and an improvement in skin texture.
- A series of 6 treatments at regular intervals is recommended for best results.
