3 Treatments for Sun Damage to Try Right Now
Feel like a summer (and fall) of sun is showing on your face this winter? You’re not alone. Luckily, winter is the perfect season to address sun damage — since it provides limited sun exposure and plenty of indoor time to get your skin on the road to recovery.
So, what are the ideal winter skin treatments to provide both an inner and outer glow this season? Here are a few treatments we love:
BBL (BroadBand Light): With our new state-of-the-art HERO laser, we can’t say enough about this light treatment that combats hyperpigmentation, dark spots, freckles and a host of other skin issues. BBL technology improves skin tone by targeting hyperpigmented or otherwise damaged skin cells with the use of intense light wavelengths. Skin cells are stimulated and regenerated, restoring skin to a rejuvenated, smooth and vibrant appearance. And since you might need a few treatments to see results — and you should avoid prolonged sun exposure during this time — winter is the ideal season for BBL downtime.
Curious about BBL? We take a deep dive into the treatment in this BBL blog.
Microneedling: One of our favorite things about microneedling? It promotes collagen and elastin production. Over time, sun exposure breaks down collagen fibers and the integrity of our skin. Thankfully, microneedling works to reverse that damage — helping your skin recover. Microneedling is a non-surgical treatment that utilizes a device that creates tiny, “micro” punctures in the skin. Our microneedling SkinPen glides across the skin in a stamping-like process, creating hundreds of microscopic channels to stimulate the skin’s production of new collagen and elastin. Take that, sun damage.

The SaltFacial: Not all facials are created equal. Today, treatments like the SaltFacial not only pamper your skin but fight sun damage, rough skin texture, uneven skin tone and so much more. SaltFacial Skin Renewal Therapy combines three medical technologies in one platform, so it is a medical-grade treatment as opposed to a traditional facial. Using a hand piece, the first step exfoliates the skin, while the organic sea salt crystals purify and gently remove the skin’s top layer. Step two is an ultrasound treatment, which drives antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid products deep into the skin. The third and final step, LED phototherapy, is tailored to each individual’s skin type. This step promotes collagen production, removes redness, reduces inflammation and more. We’re not salty about that!
