How would we describe Sun Damaged Skin

As the name suggests your skin would have been subjected to the harmful UVA and UVB rays, even under a cloudy sky!!

Your skin is likely to be pigmented with a variety of skin tones ranging from light to darker patches and will most probably make you look older than you actually are because sun damage causes premature ageing of your skin. Your skin can have a rough texture to it and in worse cases often be referred to as looking like leather. Unprotected skin will also suffer from unsightly red veins.

Many people do not realise or appreciate how bad this problem can be and we can show examples of this in our skin scanner at the clinic, where the right side of the face has suffered more than the left. Why is that they ask? We explain what happens when driving long distances on a sunny day even with the window closed !!!

Typical questions asked about Sun Damaged Skin and our recommendations

This is without doubt one of the biggest problems we face today as a result of climate change, increased holidays abroad, more outdoor activity, soft top convertible cars, even our alfresco lunches!

People want to be outside but more importantly they do not want to look old before their time ……. DO YOU?

Clients are wising up to this slowly and asking:

  • “How do I prevent further damage?”
  • “How serious are these patches of darker skin?”
  • “What products should I use?”
  • “Can I be treated to remove some of these red veins and darker skin areas?”

Treatments Recommended for Sun Damaged Skin

a) Glycolic Peels

These Glycolic Peels help lighten the Pigmentation and refine any coarseness. We can graduate the intensity of the peel to match the pigmentation density problem presented to us.

b) Intense Pulse Light (IPL)

IPL will work well on the darker patches of sun damaged skin especially on the face and hands. These patches of pigmentation are often referred to as Age Spots and can be effectively treated with IPL and Laser.

c) Combined Facial Therapy (CFT)

CFT is where we combine product based and technology based treatments together and is probably the most popular and effective treatments we do. The two elements enable a variety of skin blemishes/issues to be cleared at the same time so the CFT treatment maybe just right for you too!

d) Consultation Facial

The Consultation Facial is normally the first port of call for new clients to Remedies wanting facial treatments. This treatment is very comprehensive and allows us to analyse your skin, find out what your concerns are and then provide a non-laser treatment to improve and in some cases resolve the issues presented. You can see for yourself in the skin scanner what problems there may be and we can tell you what we can do to resolve them.

We firmly recommend the daily application of an SPF 30 sun protection product regardless of the level of sun damage you may or may not have yet.

Light diffusing make up can also help blend an even skin tone giving a far more balanced skin appearance.

If you have genuine concerns on any significant changes in your skin colour, we would advise you to see a dermatologist.

We also offer a Free Skin Analysis in our Skin Scanner which takes about 15 minutes where we can explain identify any skin issues and provide some initial guidance. There is no obligation afterwards as we have a genuine passion for skin care and want potential clients to understand their skin better.
