What Sun Damage Looks  Like

Long-term sun damage often presents as discoloration, moles, lesions, and an increase in wrinkles. In severe situations, skin may look leathery. Fortunately, many signs of sun damage are reversible. We have a number of the latest treatments, lasers, and technology to help restore skin to its pre-damaged state. Which one is right for you? That depends, which is why every sun damage treatment regimen is customized.

Some of the most common aesthetic treatments include LaseMDClear and BrilliantUltraClear® Laser, and Broadband Light (BBL). These options pack a powerful punch, but there are even more choices to consider. Since every person is different, their sun damage treatment needs to be unique, too.

Treatments For Sun Damage

Once we determine that you’re in the clear for skin cancer, a variety of treatments from chemical peels to Microneedling can help patients reverse all those bronzing sessions. Treating sun damage is one of the top services for men, since the less-than-fair sex tends to forego sunscreen a little more often than women. Call RefinedMD at (408) 688-2082 and get your sun damage treatment started.

When Sun Damage is Skin Cancer

Some people want their moles removed for aesthetic reasons, but these beauty marks usually need to be biopsied as part of the removal process. While not all skin cancer presents as moles, most do. If you remove these moles without a biopsy to ensure you took all the cancer cells, you risk leaving these cells deep within the skin to multiply later on without the tell-tale mole hinting at something being wrong. We use Mohs surgery to ensure the smallest scar is left after a mole removal. It’s also the safest.

Other Medical Conditions and Sun Damage

Sometimes melasma is confused with skin cancer, but it’s actually a relatively safe form of sun damage. Have rosacea? Sun exposure is a major trigger. There’s also hyper and hypopigmentation, which presents differently based on skin type but often looks like brown spots and sunburns.
