Explore Your Options for Rejuvenating Sun-damaged Skin

As the long days of summer start to wind down, it’s a great time to address any damage that the sun inflicted on your skin. We’ve got you covered with some innovative skin rejuvenation options.

There are many reasons why people choose to live in Nevada and Utah, but the sunny climate tops many lists. Sadly, the ongoing sun exposure isn’t doing our skin any favors.

By the numbers, exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays accounts for about 90% of the visible signs of aging in your skin.

The good news is that the team of skin care experts at Vivida Dermatology has curated an amazing collection of skin rejuvenation technologies that can help your skin bounce back from sun damage. Here are a few of the ways we can help you stay one step ahead of photoaging.

Using the power of laser light for surface issues

Sun damage can appear on your skin in many ways, the most obvious being age spots, facial veins, and other sun-related discolorations and blemishes.

To fight back against this type of sun damage, we often turn to laser technology. More specifically, we offer Icon® intense-pulsed light (IPL) laser treatments that do a fantastic job of clearing away surface concerns like areas of hyperpigmentation and facial veins.

The bursts of IPL energy pass harmlessly through the outer surface of your skin to break up these sun-related blemishes. Your body then flushes away the remnants, leaving evenly toned skin in their wake.

Skin resurfacing

Another way to hit the reset button on sun-damaged skin is through skin resurfacing treatments, which include chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and ablative and non-ablative laser treatments. In 2024 alone, more than 3.7 million skin resurfacing treatments were performed in the United States, and this number is on the rise.

At Vivida, we offer all of these skin resurfacing options, and each can do a great job in dialing back the effects of photoaging to rejuvenate the appearance, texture, and tone of your skin.

Microneedling

If you want to tackle both surface issues, such as age spots, as well as general skin laxity and loss of tone, microneedling is a great choice.

With microneedling, we break apart blemishes with tiny needles that create small microchannels across the surface of your skin. These microchannels also go deep enough to elicit a boost in collagen production that can lift and tighten sun-damaged skin.

Spot treatments

If you’re only concerned with a few sun spots on your skin, we can target these simply and effectively with cryotherapy or prescription bleaching products.

As you can see, there are any number of ways to combat sun damage in your skin, and we’re happy to help you figure out which approach is best for your goals.
