Summer has come to an end, but the many sunny days we had this summer has your skin looking tired, dry, and damaged. With the seasons changing, you’re medical-grade skin care treatments have the job of refreshing your skin’s glow. Our team of skincare professionals are here to tell you what treatments are best to reverse summer sun damage. Continue reading our blog as we discuss the top three treatments to reverse sun damage.

How Does the Sun Damage Your Skin?

The damage caused to your skin by exposure to sunlight and UV rays is called photoaging. Photoaging is the number one cause of skin aging. These UV rays are split into two different categories; UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are associated with aging while UVB rays are associated with burning the skin.

Identifying Summer Sun Damage

Photoaging appears in many different forms. The most common skin damage we see includes:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation
• Melasma
• Excess skin elasticity
• Visible broken capillaries
• Rosacea
• Irregular or uneven skin tone

Which Treatments Reverse Summer Damage?

Treatments that encourage cellular turnover and increased collagen productions are the best to pursue when looking to reverse both visible and nonvisible summer sun damage. Our top three recommended treatments to reverse summer sun damage include:

1. Broadband Light Therapy

Broadband light therapy is a gentle laser that works by heating the upper layers of your skin. The heat, which gets absorbed by the targeted areas, stimulates your skin cells to regenerate and restore your skin’s natural beauty. Results can be seen with clearer, smoother, more vibrant, and younger looking skin.

2. RF Microneedling

This state-of-the-art procedure joins radiofrequency and microneedling to restore your skin’s health by administering heat in conjunction with controlled micro-injuries. With RF microneedling by Vivace, your skin texture improves while cellular turnover increases. Skin tone becomes more balanced while fine lines and wrinkles are targeted by the device.

3. Chemical Peels

Belladerm MedSpa offers a variety of chemical peels that whip your skin back into shape. During this treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the affected areas for chemical exfoliation. Consequently, this process reveals new, regenerated skin that is smoother and less wrinkled. Chemical peels are an ideal treatment for a host of skin problems including acne, discolorations, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Dermaplaning and shaving are similar in method, so we can see why they may appear to be interchangeable services. The skincare experts at Belladerm MedSpa are here to identify the key differences between these treatments and how you should be practicing them.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is an exfoliating facial treatment that gets rid of debris, buildup, and vellus hair also known as “peach fuzz”. At Belladerm MedSpa, our advanced practice aestheticians use a medical-grade scalpel to exfoliate the skin. This treatment is quick, painless, and does a lot more than you may think!

How is it Different from Shaving?

While shaving is effective in removing unwanted hair, dermaplaning effectively exfoliates the skin while also removing vellus hair. When done by a professional, this scalpel exfoliation results in a broad rejuvenation of the treated area.

Dermaplaning Benefits

This precise removal of unwanted dead skin cells accelerates skin cell rejuvenation. The skincare benefits of Dermaplaning include:

• Provides smaller and clearer pores
• Targets fine lines and wrinkles
• Promotes an even skin tone
• Assists with acne-prone skin

When exfoliating the top layer of skin, you’re increasing your skincare regimen’s effectiveness by allowing your products to penetrate deeper. In addition, cosmetic applications go on smoother post dermaplaning treatment.

Can I Combine Dermaplaning with Other Treatments?

You can combine dermaplaning with other complimentary treatments. Here at Belladerm MedSpa, we offer dermaplaning as an add-on to classic facial treatments, HydraFacials™, and chemical peels.

Am I a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a safe and effective exfoliating facial treatment that benefits almost any skin type, even candidates with sensitive skin. We encourage scheduling a skin analysis with one of our trusted skincare experts to determine a treatment plan specifically for you.

If you’re looking for an overall rejuvenated appearance, dermaplaning may be right for you. We encourage you to schedule an appointment or request a free consultation to restore your youthful glow with this modern exfoliating facial treatment.
