Tanning and sun exposure can feel great, but it can hurt you and put you at risk for serious medical problems.

Your golden, tan color from the sun is the result of exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun and is an indicator that you have had injury an to the top layer of your skin. Premature wrinkling and skin damage from the sun is called photoaging, and a treatment plan is necessary to target and repair damaged skin. For those suffering from a sun damage, our MD at Beauty RX can help you navigate through a personalized treatment plan.
As Dr. Fairweather shares, “Unfortunately, sun damage goes beyond just the skin. The UV radiation can alter the DNA of the skin cell and cause lines, wrinkles, discoloration and as we all know, cancer. Obviously, using sunscreen and managing our time in the sun is a must. But once the damage is done, there needs to be work done to reverse and treat the skin damage from the sun. One of the most effective options to correct your sun damage is to utilize laser therapies. Using lasers, can treat the wrinkles, pigmentation irregularities, texture issues and blemishes using our latest laser technology. The lasers allow us to control and get even, predictable results for our clients. “
An effective way to treat sun damage is through lasers. With the Elite MPX laser, the laser uses a broad band of pulsed light to treat the sun damage on the skin’s surface. The skin absorbs the laser heat and begins to help active the collagen production and healing in the skin. The light pulses produced by the laser is similar to the feeling of flicking a rubber elastic band which is utterly not uncomfortable for most people . Depending on the size and area, multiple treatments are usually needed to achieve results. Laser treatments for vascular blemish are quick, safe and non-invasive.
