Do you spend a lot of time in the sun? Without proper protection, sun exposure degrades collagen and elastin in the skin. This can seriously worsen the appearance of loose skin and wrinkles. Traditional anti-aging treatments for sun damage, like skin tightening and resurfacing with energy-based devices, can be useful for treating the sagging, deflated appearance associated with sun damaged skin. Using radio frequency technology, these treatments have been proven safe and effective for patients of all skin types.

Other options to repair sun damage include IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments which can be tailored to patients needs and reverse sun damage. IPL treatments are applied based on the severity of sun damage, patient skin type, and their response to treatment.

The bottom line is that excessive sun exposure leads to the appearance of premature aging. This occurs in the form of lines, wrinkles, brown or red spots, broken capillaries, and leathery, dry, and/or rough skin. Some people may even develop pre-cancerous lesions or melanoma. Oregon Laser & Wellness Center targeted skin resurfacing treatments can effectively reduce signs of skin damage and improve the appearance of uneven skin texture, color, and loose skin no matter how fair or dark your skin tone.
