Now that summer’s ending, you’ve probably noticed various skin problems due to sun damage. You’re not alone though.
It’s common for people to struggle with sun-damaged skin after lounging in the sun all day without proper sun protection. Left unaddressed, these can result in long-term skin issues and health conditions.
Fortunately, CLAREBELLA aesthetics offers Fraxel Dual Laser, a perfect laser treatment for sun-damaged skin.
Let’s take a look.
Signs of Sun-Damaged Skin
Excessive UV rays and sun exposure can lead to skin damage. Oftentimes, these are manifested through the following conditions:
Sunburn
This is the most common problem during summer. Aside from redness, you will also experience pain, swelling, and peeling of the skin.
Sunspots
Also known as an age spot, sunspots develop on the sun-exposed areas of the skin particularly the face, hands, and shoulders.
Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles are also common results of excessive UV radiation from the sun. This results in premature aging due to the accelerated breakdown of collagen and elastin.
Uneven Skin Tone
Sun exposure also causes uneven pigmentation. This is called hyperpigmentation wherein some skin areas are darker or redder than others.
Melasma
There’s also melasma, the appearance of brown or gray-brown patches on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip. Without proper protection, sun exposure can exacerbate melasma.
Dry Skin
Lastly, sun damaged skin is usually characterized by dehydrated, dry, and flaky skin. This is because excessive sun can deplete your skin’s natural moisture.
Sun Damage Removal (Laser Treatments)
Since we ran through the list of skin problems caused by sun exposure, you might be wondering what remedies are available for sun-damaged skin.

- Afterwards, we will perform laser passes on the treatment area.
- As the device moves over the treated area, it’s common to feel a tingling sensation. The level of intensity can vary from person to person due to individual sensitivity and tolerance.
After the treatment, patients should expect around 5-7 days of downtime. This will give your body enough time to recover and rejuvenate.
