We all know sunscreen is a must-have on those scorching summer days at the beach. But did you know that protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays is crucial even when it’s cloudy or cold? That’s right – sunscreen isn’t just for summer anymore!
Why Sunscreen is Essential Every Day
UV radiation from the sun is present year-round, regardless of the weather. These harmful rays can penetrate clouds and even reach you through windows. Daily sunscreen use is vital for:
- Preventing skin cancer: Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the US, and sunscreen is your first line of defense.
- Slowing down aging: Sun exposure is a major contributor to premature aging, causing wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.
- Maintaining an even skin tone: Sunscreen helps prevent dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Don’t Let Sunspots Steal Your Glow
Even with diligent sunscreen use, sunspots can sometimes appear. The Heights Plastic Surgery Med Spa offers a range of treatments to help you achieve a clear, radiant complexion, even if you are spending some time outdoors.
Here are some procedures to help you combat those pesky sunspots:
Halo Laser Treatment
Achieve smoother, brighter skin with HALO® Laser Treatment. This hybrid fractional laser targets sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin tone by stimulating collagen production. A topical numbing cream is applied during the procedure, and you may feel a warm sensation. Downtime is minimal, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately, but remember to avoid direct sun exposure and diligently apply sunscreen.
Chemical Peels
Reveal a fresh, glowing complexion with a customized chemical peel. These treatments exfoliate the outer layer of skin, addressing various concerns like sun damage and hyperpigmentation. A chemical solution is applied to your skin, causing it to peel over the next few days. Downtime varies depending on the peel’s depth, with superficial peels requiring minimal downtime and deeper peels needing a few days of recovery.
Microdermabrasion
Improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin with microdermabrasion, a gentle exfoliation technique. This procedure uses a hand-held device to gently remove the outer layer of skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and age spots. No downtime is associated with microdermabrasion, so you can resume your normal activities immediately.
Sciton Laser Treatments
The Heights offers a range of Sciton laser treatments to combat sun damage. BBL® Hero™ targets pigmentation and redness, while MOXI® Laser revitalizes the overall skin. These treatments involve a warm sensation and have minimal to no downtime, resulting in improved skin tone and texture, reduced pigmentation, and a more youthful appearance.
Skin Tightening with SkinTyte
Reverse the visible signs of sun damage, such as sagging skin, with SkinTyte®. This non-invasive skin tightening treatment uses infrared light to stimulate collagen production and tighten loose skin. SkinTyte is a comfortable procedure with no downtime, leaving you with firmer, tighter skin and improved elasticity.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing can dramatically improve your skin’s appearance if you have more severe sun damage. This procedure removes the outer layers of damaged skin, stimulating collagen production for smoother, healthier skin. The results include a significant improvement in skin tone and texture and a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines.
Take Control of Your Skin’s Destiny
Don’t let sun damage dictate how your skin looks and feels. With the right treatments and consistent sun protection, you can achieve a radiant, healthy complexion.
