What Causes Sun Damage?

Sun damage develops from cumulative exposure to ultraviolet light over time, which breaks down collagen and elastin while triggering an overproduction of pigment in certain areas of the skin. This process leads to visible signs like brown spots, uneven tone, rough texture, and premature fine lines. Because sun damage builds gradually over years, its effects are often not fully visible until later in life, even in patients who consider themselves diligent about sun protection. The good news is that many of these visible signs can be significantly improved with the right combination of professional treatments.

Treatments for Sun-Damaged Skin

We offer a complete range of non-surgical options for patients seeking sun-damaged skin treatment in Dallas, fully customized and combined for optimal results.

BroadBand Light Therapy (BBL)

BroadBand Light Therapy (BBL) targets pigmented areas of sun damage, breaking down excess pigment so it can rise to the surface and naturally shed away. This treatment is highly effective for brown spots, redness, and overall uneven tone, often producing visible improvement after just a few sessions with minimal downtime required.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing removes damaged outer layers of skin affected by years of sun exposure, revealing smoother, more even-toned skin beneath. This treatment also stimulates new collagen production, which continues to improve texture and firmness for months after your initial treatment.

Halo and Moxi Laser

These advanced, precision lasers are especially effective for treating sun damage, targeting pigmentation and texture with adjustable intensity based on your skin's needs and downtime preferences. Many patients use Halo or Moxi as an ongoing part of their skin maintenance routine to keep sun damage from progressing further.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels exfoliate the outer layers of sun-damaged skin, helping fade discoloration and improve overall tone and texture. Peel strength can be tailored to your skin type and the severity of your sun damage, making this a flexible option for patients at any stage of treatment.

Cool Peel

Cool Peel offers a gentler resurfacing option for patients with mild to moderate sun damage who want visible improvement with very little downtime. This treatment is well suited for patients newer to professional skin treatments or those with more sensitive skin.

Medical-Grade Skin Care

A consistent, well-formulated at-home routine, including daily sun protection, plays an essential role in both treating existing sun damage and preventing further harm. Our team can build a customized Medical-Grade Skin Care plan to support your in-office treatments and protect your results over time.

Smoother, Brighter Skin: BBL + CO2 Laser Resurfacing for Redness and Texture

Combining BBL and CO2 laser resurfacing, Lara targeted redness and uneven pigmentation while resurfacing the skin and stimulating collagen for a smoother, brighter, healthier-looking complexion. It’s one of our favorite treatment combinations because it addresses multiple skin concerns at once. Ready to learn more? Schedule your consultation today.

“I got a HydraFacial with dermaplane by Nyaz, and it was easily one of the best facials I’ve ever had. I’m very into skincare and have had many facials, but Nyaz really stood out. She took the time to go through my current routine and gave thoughtful recommendations for improving pigmentation and dullness.”

Will I need to avoid the sun after treatment?

Yes, protecting your skin from further sun exposure is essential after treatment, both to support healing and to help preserve your results over time.
