We provide IPL photofacials, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing to rejuvenate and repair sun-damaged skin.

The best treatment against sun damage is preventing it from occurring in the first place. It is important to wear sunscreen on a daily basis and avoid excessive exposure to the sun, especially during mid-day hours when the sun is strongest. Additional ways to prevent sun damage include:

• Always wear sun screen with an SPF of at least 15
• Wear a hat in the sun
• Wear long sleeves and long pants
• Avoid tanning beds and salons

Once sun damage has occurred, there are options available to cosmetically improve damage that has already been suffered. Injectable fillers such as collagen help to fill out lines and wrinkles to give the skin a fuller, smoother look and feel. Phototherapy can reduce the appearance of uneven pigmentation and laser treatments may also be effective for these conditions. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion soften and rejuvenate the skin by removing old and dead layers of skin cells. This helps to promote new growth and enhanced texture of the skin. resulting in a noticeable renewal of the skin.

Individuals that notice any suspicious growths or skin patches should immediately consult with a doctor, as early detection is extremely important in treating any forms of skin cancer that may have developed as a result of sun damage.

Depending on the treatment, downtime at Sanctuaire MD ranges from none (Hydrafacial) to a few days (laser treatments).

We recommend daily use of broad-spectrum SPF and regular treatments at Sanctuaire MD to maintain radiant skin.

Many of our clients notice improvements after their first session, with optimal results developing over a series of treatments.
