Sun Damage Symptoms
Symptoms of sun-damaged skin can include:
- Premature ageing & wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation (age spots, freckles & melasma)
- Loss of skin tone
- Broken capillaries (spider veins) usually around the nose
- Redness & blotchiness
- Rough, uneven skin
Photo ageing is caused by ongoing exposure to UVA and UVB rays. Shielding your skin from the sun is the best way to avoid sun damage – prevention is always better than a cure.
Treating Sun Damaged Skin with SkinBase
SkinBase MD
SkinBase Microdermabrasion is an effective treatment for pigmentation. It also improves rough uneven skin. Tiny crystals spray onto the skin and a suction action removes the debris to unveil the fresh new skin underneath. It’s quick, painless and will smooth out any rough texture. This deep exfoliation also improves circulation and boosts collagen production.
SkinBase Hydro – Brightening Serum
Hydro is an effective way to treat sun-damaged skin. The active peel gets rid of the top layer of dead skin cells and prepares skin to absorb our powerful Brightening Serum. This serum is packed with active ingredients including Niacinamide and Kojic Acid. A vacuum action delivers the peel and serum ingredients deeply into the skin. This helps to stimulate lymphatic drainage and circulation at the same time. Niacinamide renews and rejuvenates skin by tightening pores and reducing dullness. Kojic Acid has natural anti-inflammatory properties and helps to prevent melanin forming. It can treat pigmentation and dark spots so is an ideal method to improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin.
SkinBase IPL
Intense Pulsed Light pulses precise wavelengths of light to target vessels without causing damage to the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process. At first the melanin looks slightly broken and crusty before disappearing. It is an effective treatment that improves the appearance of pigmentation and thread veins. It also boosts collagen production to plump skin and give a natural glow.
Treating Sun Damaged Skin
Sun-damaged skin doesn’t have to be permanent. Whichever treatment is best for your skin concerns, we can’t emphasise enough the importance of wearing SPF post treatment. Always wear a hat and lather on sunscreen every couple of hours. Check out our SPF in our SkinBase Essentials Range. Find a Therapist.
