September is the perfect month to start addressing any sun damage from your outdoor summer and vacationing with friends and family. During this month, many people turn their focus back to getting into a routine. With school starting back up and parent’s crazy schedules, life suddenly gets busy again. As you set your priorities for the month, don’t forget to treat your sun damage from the long days sitting in the sun. At Live Young Wellness Spa, we recommend booking an appointment now to address any sun-induced skin issues from the summertime.
Laser Treatments
Turn back time with laser treatments like Broadband Light (BBL), MOXI, and HALO. At Live Young Wellness Spa, we offer several Sciton laser treatment options that target sun damage and pigmentation concerns. BBL, MOXI, and HALO will assist in breaking down pigmented cells creating an overall more even tone. These laser treatments can be done on your face and body to help decrease sun damage, dark spots, and redness. These treatments utilize specific wavelengths of light that become absorbed by melanin, which is the reason for dark spots in the skin. BBL, MOXI, and HALO all offer unique benefits of their own besides targeting sun damage. We recommend calling our office to schedule a Skin Analysis so we can evaluate which laser treatment will be the best for your skin type.
Chemical Peels
As summer winds down, receiving a chemical peel will help you eliminate signs of sun damage since it exfoliates the top layer of your skin, getting rid of dead skin cells. When your skin is chemically exfoliated it can promote new cell growth minimizing the visible sunspots and hyperpigmentation from previous sun exposure. At Live Young Wellness Spa, we offer VI chemical peel, which addresses many sun-related skin concerns. VI chemical peel penetrates multiple layers of the skin and exfoliates the outer layer of the skin lightening dark spots and pigmentation. This chemical peel will actively target melanin-producing cells, which will reduce hyperpigmentation. If you haven’t tried a chemical peel yet, the perfect time is now!
Antioxidants
Antioxidants are powerful and can treat sun damage since they can neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation, enhance skin repair, and help prevent hyperpigmentation. Implementing a medical-grade antioxidant serum into your skin care routine can truly improve your skin. At Live Young Wellness Spa, we recommend using the A-Luminate Serum by Alastin and Brightalive by ZO Skin Health. These antioxidant serums brighten the skin and help eliminate hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and brown spots. Following up on your med spa treatments with medical-grade products will help you get the most effective results.
Regular Exfoliation
It’s important to regularly exfoliate your skin a few times every week, especially when you are trying to target lingering sun damage. When you gently exfoliate your skin, it removes the dead skin cells and allows for better product absorption. Also, exfoliation promotes cell turnover, which helps remove the old, damaged cells and replaces them with new healthy skin cells. Keep a healthy and bright complexion by incorporating regular exfoliation.
