Fall Back into Skincare: How to Repair Sun-Damaged Skin

Fall Back into Skincare: How to Repair Sun-Damaged Skin

You can’t undo sun damage overnight, but with the right treatments (and sunscreen loyalty), you can fall back into skincare, reversing sun-damaged tissues and protecting your skin going forward.

Ready to turn back the hands of time? Meet with Leslie at one of our Wrinkle Fairy offices in Arlington Heights, Gold Coast Chicago, Oakbrook Terrace, or Naperville, Illinois, to repair sun-damaged skin following the previous summer months.

Signs of sun damage

Here are a few signs of sun-damaged skin to watch out for this fall:

Sun-damaged skin can make you look older than you’d like, but you don’t have to live with unwelcome signs of aging caused by a lack of sunscreen or the heat of the summer. 

6 effective ways to repair sun-damaged skin

Consider the following skincare treatments available at Wrinkle Fairy to eliminate unwelcome signs of photodamage:

1. Botox

Botox contains a safe, FDA-approved botulinum toxin designed to eliminate crow’s feet, forehead lines, and other fine lines and wrinkles. The results of these simple injections last for several months, smoothing and tightening sun-damaged skin.

2. Dermal fillers

Facial fillers plump lax skin and further eliminate fine lines. These injections work by adding volume to your face in all the right areas, taking years off your appearance and creating flawless results without invasive procedures or downtime. These benefits often last 6-24 months — sometimes longer. 

  1. Laser resurfacing

Laser resurfacing uses innovative laser energy to boost new cell growth and eliminate imperfections in the treatment area. As skin cells regenerate, treated tissues appear smoother, firmer, healthier, and more even-toned over time. 

3. Thread lifts

Thread lifts are minimally invasive treatments that use tiny biocompatible threads placed under your skin to create a nonsurgical facelift and a younger look without costly procedures or extensive downtime.

4. Vampire facials and facelifts

Vampire facials and facelifts use revolutionary platelet-rich plasma (PRP) sourced from your own blood with microneedling to naturally stimulate new cell growth and achieve younger-looking, revitalized skin with a healthy glow. Leslie can also inject PRP underneath the surface of your skin to boost cell regeneration and reduce signs of sun damage.

5. Diamond Glow facials

Diamond Glow facials use a specialized handheld tool to customize treatments that exfoliate, extract, and infuse nourishing serums into sun-damaged skin — all in one treatment to create flawless results. 

Minimizing future sun damage

Though the sun may be strongest during summer, you can experience photodamaged skin all year round. Protect your skin from the sun using protective clothing or sunscreen — especially on your face, neck, and chest — and avoid tanning beds. Use restorative and protective skincare products at home as directed by Leslie.

Fall back into skincare after the sweltering summer months by determining which regimen best suits you. Contact us today at Wrinkle Fairy: Leslie Forrester by calling the office or requesting an appointment online.
