How to Remove sun Damage

I often get clients into our Medical Spa (Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center) in the sun capital-Orlando FL who say "I don't know how I got this sun damage I wear sunscreen all the time now." My first questions is did you tan when you were younger? Then the real story comes out-that same client used the tanning beds or was a baby boomer who used baby oil do get a tan when they were younger. The fact is that most sun damage (about 80%) is accumulated by the time you are 20. As you age more and more sun damage comes out. Compound that with the fact that your skin tone becomes more uneven due to dead skin cells combined with hyper-pigmentation issues caused by hormones everyone starts to think that they "just got the sun damage." So the questions is once you have all this sun damage appearing on your skin are you stuck with it or is there a way to remove it? The good news is that you can remove a lot of your accumulated sun damage and there a few methods depending on how severe it is. Chemical Peels are one way to remove some minor sun damage by exfoliating and removing excess pigmentation caused by sun damage. My favorite treatment is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photo-facials-it's pulsed of light that target pigmented lesions and once the lesions absorb the light and are destroyed the flake off naturally within 1-2 weeks leaving your skin with less sun spots and a more even skin tone. After 2-5 treatments you can have clear, and even skin tone with improved texture as well. For more information on Intense Pulsed Light photo-facials in Orlando go to www.winterparklaser.com
