Winter is coming – but your skin hasn’t exactly received the memo. In fact, you may still be suffering from brown spots, hyperpigmentation, and rough texture that are left over from all your fun in the summertime sun. Now that holiday festivities are just around the corner, you’re ready to take action with the best solutions for sun-damaged skin.
At the Beaux Arts Institute of Plastic Surgery in Lanham, Maryland – also serving the greater Baltimore and Washington, DC areas – board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nia Banks and her staff members can help erase summertime damage. Beaux Arts features a menu of innovative procedures and medical-grade peels designed to help reveal your most glowing, beautiful skin ever.
When you walk into Beaux Arts with sun-damaged skin, Dr. Banks will typically recommend any of the following treatments:
- Chemical Peels: A chemical peel is a topical acidic treatment that’s used to remove the top layers of the skin. As a result, a chemical peel can help reveal new and younger-looking skin that’s been hiding underneath your sun-damaged layers.
At Beaux Arts, Dr. Banks can customize the skin peel depending on the level of sun damage. For most clients, it will be an outpatient procedure that will result in redness, flaking, and irritation. Clients should be prepared to take a few days off for recovery, as well as wear strong sunscreen. Results can last anywhere from one year to an entire decade.
- Lux1540 Laser Treatment: This fractional laser treatment is designed to help “even up” your skin tone; in other words, it can eliminate the appearance of rough skin texture, brown spots, and hyperpigmentation. Additionally, the Lux1540 can help refresh your body’s collagen production levels, resulting in long-term skin cell renewal. This type of laser can safely treat all skin types.
- IPL Laser Treatment: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) laser treatments deliver light and energy to the deepest skin levels, thus minimizing the appearance of lesions, spider veins, and age spots. IPL laser treatments can be used on the face, hands, and chest, which are often the most common areas for sun-damaged skin. Clients can see results from their IPL laser treatments in as little as two weeks.
