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.

When in doubt, neutral always looks classy.
These colors will look great for work, school or an evening out on the town. They work well with any wardrobe colors and they make your nails look super clean and chic, too. Just like nude colored heels elongate your leg, neutral colors give your hands and fingers a lovely, lean look.
Be sure to get your nails properly prepped before using a lighter, neutral shade, however. These have a tendency to highlight flaws if your nails are damaged or dry. Use a quality base coat beforehand and take care of those cuticles, especially with our frigid MN winter taking its toll on your hands.
Take your time choosing a color because just like foundation for your face, nude polishes have many different undertones and certain choices will work better with your natural skin tones than others. In short, it’s all about complementing your skin, while providing a little colour and contrast, too.
