Years of time spent outdoors can leave behind visible signs of sun damage on the skin, including dark spots, rough texture, and fine lines. While sun protection remains the best defense against further damage, advanced aesthetic treatments can help reverse many of these signs and restore a smoother, healthier complexion.
Dr. Tenley Lawton offers a range of solutions for sun-damaged skin, from gentle exfoliation to targeted laser therapy, each customized to help you look refreshed and radiant.
Sun-damaged skin often appears uneven or prematurely aged. Common signs include hyperpigmentation, freckles, age spots, and patches of redness. Over time, UV exposure can also break down collagen and elastin, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and a rougher skin texture. In some cases, the skin may look dull or feel dry and less supple than before.
While these changes happen gradually, they can make the skin appear older than it is. Fortunately, professional treatments can help reduce the visible signs of sun damage and restore a more even, youthful appearance.
DiamondGlow®
DiamondGlow® is a gentle yet effective facial treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin with nourishing serums in one step.
This treatment helps improve skin tone, texture, and hydration while reducing the look of dullness and surface damage. It is an excellent option for ongoing skin maintenance and can complement other procedures to keep your skin looking its best.
Lumecca IPL Laser
Lumecca is a powerful Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment designed to target pigmentation caused by sun exposure. The light energy breaks down excess melanin in the skin, which the body gradually removes, leading to a clearer and more even complexion.
Lumecca can treat areas like the face, chest, and hands, where sun damage often shows most prominently. Treatments are quick, and results appear over several weeks as the skin renews itself.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels help remove damaged outer layers of skin to reveal newer, healthier skin underneath. Depending on the depth of the peel, they can improve sun spots, fine lines, and rough texture.
Dr. Lawton offers a range of medical-grade chemical peels, allowing her to tailor the treatment to your skin type and the severity of your sun damage. Peels can be repeated periodically to maintain a bright, even complexion.
Medical-Grade Skincare
For ongoing maintenance, medical-grade skincare plays a vital role in protecting and repairing sun-damaged skin. Products formulated with active ingredients like antioxidants, retinol, and vitamin C can help reduce existing damage and prevent new spots from forming.
Using these products daily, alongside professional treatments, helps keep your skin looking healthier and more resilient over time.
The ideal treatment depends on the extent of your sun damage, your skin type, and your aesthetic goals. During a consultation, Dr. Lawton will evaluate your skin and discuss your lifestyle and expectations to create a customized treatment plan.
By customizing the approach, Dr. Lawton helps ensure your skin looks naturally healthier rather than over-treated.
Results vary depending on the treatment and your unique skin. Daily sun protection is essential to keep new sun spots from forming and to preserve your skin’s health over the long term.
DiamondGlow® offers an immediate glow that lasts several days to weeks and can be repeated regularly for ongoing benefits.
Lumecca IPL results develop gradually over a few weeks and can last months or longer, especially if you protect your skin from further sun exposure.
Chemical peels stimulate new skin cell turnover, with results that can last for several months or longer. Following a consistent skincare routine and avoiding excessive sun exposure helps prolong the improvement.
