I have a ton of sun damage in the form of freckles, forehead wrinkles, and crows feet. I'm 29 and I'm really noticing the damage now even tho I do take good care of my skin now. I also have broken capillaries around my nose. There are so many treatments out there- PicoSure, Lumecca, microdermabrasion, etc. I was wondering what I would get the best results from and not do anymore damage to my skin!
Answer: Recommend doing Vbeam or IPL for freckles and broken capillaries. Clear and Brilliant for any pigmentation and fine lines Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Answer: IPL Lasers Hello, thank you for your question. A good place to start in eradicating these imperfections is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Lasers. This will treat your issues of sun damage and capillaries. To treat fine lines and wrinkles, microneedling could be a great option for you and is it uses minimally invasive tiny punctures in your skin to arouse natural collagen in your body and tighten your skin. I recommend you schedule an in person consultation with a certified dermatologist or surgeon so they can tell you what would be best for you personally. Also keep in mind that the best skincare lies in prevention so it is extremely important to wear sunhats and attempt to keep your skin covered if possible, and wear sunblock!

Answer: Facial Sun Damage in 29 year Dear Nadia,Sun exposure does cause problems with our skin. The first thing to do is to start protecting yourself when you're outside with sunblock daily. Certain medications like RetinA and hydroquinones can be helpful .For more improvement BBL or IPL can help.For better improvement, it would require deeper surgical procedures with recovery time.My RESET treatment is helpful in reversing past sun damage. I'll include some links below.I hope this was helpful.
