Virginia Beach is well known for weather where some can get away with shorts and flip-flops all year round. (for some). Sure, it’s nice not to have to be locked away in our homes for long winters. But what most don’t realize is it’s just prolonging the effects of sun exposure on your skin, especially your face.
As we end yet another summer, let’s focus on re-setting our skin from the harsh sun and protecting moving forward. Here are a few sun damage treatment options you may want to invest in;
Chemical Peels: correcting pigmentation and texture
Chemical peels, when administered professionally, are a great option for sun damage treatment. They will remove the damaged layers and reveal a smoother, younger skin complexion underneath with “harsh exfoliation”. By removing the top layer, faster skin cell regeneration is encouraged.
How it works: Depending on the severity of your sun damage and sensitivity of your skin, a peeling agent will be selected. The liquid or gel will be applied to your face in even strokes. You may feel some mild tenderness.
Why we love it:
- Customizable
- Treats sunspots, melasma, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, dull tone, large pores and minor scarring
- Great for all skin types
- Safe
Laser Skin Resurfacing
CO2 laser resurfacing in Virginia Beach is one of the most effective sun damage treatments on the market. Lasers can target deeper pigmentation, redness, and the most stubborn sunspots while also stimulating collagen growth.
How it works: Ablative lasers use energy that is converted to heat to allow “controlled damage” to be done to the epidermis. You will usually only feel a faint warmth through the topical anesthetic given.
Why we love it:
- Permanent improved results
- Tightens the skin
- Low risks
- Can spot-treat or treat entire area
- Can treat other areas of the body
Sun damage treatments: Salt Spa’s favorite reversal treatments
Microneedling is one of the most popular sun damage treatments for many reasons: it’s versatility, safeness, and quick recovery are just a few.
How it works: Microneedling involves puncturing the epidermis with miniature, sterilized needles usually with a pen-shaped device. The miniscule wounds help the skin remodel itself which carries many benefits for your skin.
Why we love it:
- Treats acne scarring, sun damage, surgical scars, burns, enlarged pores, wrinkles and stretch marks.
- Normal activities resumed after 24 hours
- Takes under an hour to complete
- Very mild side effects
