Summer is full of fun, sun, and heat. But let’s be honest… how many of us really remember to reapply our sunscreen? It’s not uncommon to neglect the damage our skin has taken on over the last few months.
What Does Sun Damage Look Like?
Sun damage looks slightly different on everyone. Here are a few of the most common visible signs:
- Freckled Blotches
- Dark Spots
- Wrinkles
How Can I Reverse Sun Damage?
At Neem Medical Spa, we offer IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacials to achieve a healthier glow-like complexion.
IPL Photofacial is a non-invasive treatment that warms the skin cells to set off the natural healing process and increase the production of collagen. One of our medical professionals uses a handheld wand to pass over the skin while emitting laser energy pulses. This reaches the deeper skin layers to treat several blemishes with minimal to no recovery time needed.
Do IPL Photofacials Only Work On Sun-Damaged Skin?
An IPL Photofacial can target several complexion issues other than those caused by sun damage. These can include:
- Rosacea
- Rough Texture
- Visible Pores
- Redness
- Spider Veins
The results are an overall improved tone and a decrease in pigmentation spots. During recovery, it is important to moisturize and wear sunscreen as often as possible. As always, we recommend calling one of our locations and booking a consultation to see if IPL Photofacial is the right fit for your skin’s needs.
