How To Treat Sun Damaged Skin

Don’t let summer be a bummer for your skin. If we don’t all know it by now let me just say we live in the harshest and hottest climate on earth and it doesn’t care too much about skin health so we need to!

Sun damage can present itself on the skin in the following ways:

• Pigmentation – dark spots or patches of skin will develop in a darker pigmented shade than your natural skin tone. It can take up to 5 years for the “damage” to work its way up to the surface where it becomes visible. Once pigmentation is visible quick and progressive action is needed to lighten and help reverse it. The best possible treatment in the industry to date is IPL (instant pulse light therapy) and Skin Needling otherwise known as Dermapen. Both are available at Celcius Skin Clinic and are extremely successful when used in conjunction with each other and regular treatments will get you great results with the Skin Technicians at Celcius.

Prior to starting your treatment make sure you visit www.celcius.com.au to get your discount on their pigment reduction skincare. I am loving the results I have gotten so far from the Aspect Pigment Punch, DP Dermaceuticals Brite Lite and Dermalogica C12 Serum. All of which have very active and potent peptides and vitamins that are known to even out complexion and diminish pigmentation.

• Wrinkles – occur when the fibroblasts (a specific type of skin cell that is responsible for producing collagen) are damaged. The UVA ray “ages” the skin and the UVB ray “burns” the skin both of which will equally create enough trauma to these cells. Prevention is better than cure when it comes to wrinkles however, a winning combination of the IPL Rejuvenation Therapy and Skin Tightening treatments at Celcius Skin Clinic will certainly smooth and plump out those unwanted lines!

Prior to starting your treatment make sure you visit www.celcius.com.au to get your discount on their anti-ageing and line transformation skincare. I have noticed so far a 50% reduction in my forehead lines and crows feet from using the following products twice daily and I am loving my smoother skin! Dermalogica Age Reversal Eye Complex, Skinstiut Retinol Serum, Aspects Phytostat 9 and Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery spf50.

• Thickened / leathery skin – The more sun exposure induced damage the more our clever skin will try to protect itself, by producing excessive skin cells. This however I found in my youth can happen with chronic acne or congestion prone skins! I have tried several different treatments all of which were either too painful, costly or took too long to see results. The best and quickest visible results I have found are a combination of the Dermapen (Skin Needling) and Hydropeptide Facials at Celcius Skin Clinic. A powerful combination of active peptide based ingredients and the micro-needles painlessly breaking up dead skin!

Prior to starting your treatment make sure you visit www.celcius.com.au to get your discount on their skin resurfacing skincare. All praise goes to the following products for my new found healthy glow and skin health! Skinstitut Lactic Cleanser, Dermalogica Skin Resurfacing Cleanser, Aspects Exfol 15, Aspects Extreme B17.
