Understanding Sun Damage and its Effects on Your Skin
As we all know, sun exposure is an inevitable part of your daily life, especially during the summer months. However, exposure to the harmful UV rays of the sun can result in skin damage over time. Sun damage can appear in various forms, including but not limited to:
- Pigmentation changes
- Sunspots
- Uneven Skin Tone
All of which can prematurely age your skin and affect your confidence.
One of the most common issues from sun exposure is hyperpigmentation. This can occur when the skin over produces melanin as a response to UV damage, leading to dark spots and patches that are difficult to remove with conventional skincare products. Over time these spots can become pronounced, making your skin appear uneven and aged.
The Candela Alexandrite Laser: A Revolutionary Solution
At Eve Clinics we only use state of the art equipment, this includes our Candela Alexandrite Laser that is specifically designed to target and treat the pigmentation caused by sun damage.
The laser works by specifically targeting the melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots. The laser breaks down the melanin that will then naturally be eliminated by your body over next 7-10 days.
What sets the sub spot laser treatment apart from other treatments is the precision of the laser, enabling our highly skilled technicians to target only the pigmented areas, leaving the surrounded skin untouched. This ensures the treatment is both effective and safe which in turn minimises the risk of side effects and leaving the healthy skin unaffected.
The Treatment Process: What to Expect
Our treatment process begins with a thorough consultation where our expert specialists will assess your skin and come up with a treatment plan with you, discussing any concerns you may have. This will enable us to tailor the treatment to your exact needs ensuring that your results are as good as can be.
During your treatment, the laser is applied to the pre discussed areas of your skin. You may feel a slight sensation while the laser is active but is generally well tolerated and not painful. A session generally lasts between 15 to 45 minutes depending on the size and quantity of areas treated.
Immediately after treatment you may notice that the areas of skin that have been treated appear darker, this is a normal part of the treatment as the laser breaks down the pigment. Over the next few days the treated areas will gradually peel off and fade, revealing a more even skin tone underneath. Most patients see significant improvements within just one week.
When to Have the Treatment
For best results we recommend scheduling you sun damage laser treatment between September and June. During these months your skin will be less likely to be exposed to the sun, which can prevent further damage on the treated skin which will be sensitive to the skin. Also this will allow the heling process to complete.
Post-Treatment Care
After you sun damage treatment, it is essential to follow some simple aftercare steps to ensure the best results:
- Avoid the Sun: Stay out of direct sunlight for at least 4 weeks after treatment, If you have to be in direct sun for a prolonged period of time, apply a good quality SPF 50 sun screen to help protect your skin.
- Moisturise: Keep your skin hydrated by regularly applying a good quality, gentle, non-irritating moisturiser.
- Avoid Picking or Scrubbing: Leave the areas treated to naturally peel. Scrubbing or picking the areas treated can lead to scarring or possible infection.
- Stay Cool: Avoid hot showers, saunas and strenuous areas for a few days after the treatment as heat can irritate the treated areas of skin.
Is Laser Sun Damage Removal Right for Me?
