Sun damage and pigmentation issues
Sun exposure is a major cause of skin concerns such as premature aging, pigmentation issues, and uneven skin tone. At New Age Spa, located in Montreal and Laval, we specialize in cutting-edge treatments that address and correct sun damage and pigmentation, helping you achieve a clearer, more even-toned complexion.
sun damage prevention
Sun damage results from prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays, leading to changes in skin texture, the appearance of sunspots, and other forms of hyperpigmentation. These changes can make the skin appear older and more worn. Effective treatment not only improves the appearance of the skin but also enhances its overall health.
sun damage treatments
Laser Skin Resurfacing: This advanced treatment uses laser technology to remove layers of skin very precisely. The process eliminates damaged skin cells, stimulates collagen production, and encourages the growth of new, healthy skin cells, effectively reducing pigmentation and improving skin texture. Chemical Peels: Our chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution that causes the old, pigmented skin to peel off, revealing smoother, more evenly toned skin underneath. Peels vary in strength and are tailored to the severity of your sun damage and skin type. LASER Therapy: LASER therapy uses light energy to target pigmentation and redness without harming the surrounding skin. This treatment is particularly effective for treating sun spots, age spots, and other forms of hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure. Microneedling: Microneedling is a procedure that uses small needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin, prompting it to heal and regenerate. This treatment is enhanced with topical serums to treat pigmentation, improving the absorption and effectiveness of these products.

How can I protect my skin from sun damage? Protecting your skin involves using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding sun exposure during peak hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Are these treatments painful? Most treatments are minimally painful and do not require significant downtime. Any discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How many treatment sessions will I need? The number of sessions depends on the extent of your sun damage and the type of treatment. Typically, multiple sessions are needed for optimal results, spaced several weeks apart.
Can sun damage and pigmentation be completely eliminated? While many treatments significantly reduce the appearance of sun damage and pigmentation, complete elimination depends on individual skin conditions. Ongoing maintenance and sun protection are crucial.
Is there any downtime associated with these treatments? Downtime varies depending on the treatment. Some treatments, like chemical peels and laser resurfacing, may require a few days of downtime, while others, like IPL therapy and microneedling, have minimal to no downtime.
Additional Information and Pre-Post Care Instructions
Before Treatment:
-
Avoid Sun Exposure: Refrain from excessive sun exposure and tanning beds for at least one week before your appointment. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of complications and discomfort during the procedure.
-
Discontinue Certain Products: Stop using retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and other exfoliating skincare products for a few days before your treatment. These products can increase skin sensitivity and irritation.
-
Stay Hydrated: Ensure that your skin is well-hydrated leading up to your appointment. Drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin regularly to maintain optimal hydration levels.
After Treatment:
-
Apply Soothing Products: Use gentle, non-irritating skincare products recommended by your skincare professional to soothe and hydrate your skin post-treatment. Avoid products containing harsh ingredients or fragrances that may exacerbate sensitivity.
-
Protect Your Skin: Shield your skin from direct sun exposure by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Sunscreen helps prevent sunburn and minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation, especially during the initial healing phase.
-
Avoid Harsh Treatments: Refrain from using abrasive scrubs, exfoliants, or harsh skincare treatments for at least one week. These products can disrupt the skin’s healing process and increase the risk of irritation.
-
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin regularly to maintain hydration and support the healing process. Hydrated skin promotes faster recovery and enhances the results.
-
Follow Post-Treatment Instructions: Adhere to any specific post-treatment instructions provided by your skincare professional. This may include avoiding certain activities, skincare products, or medications that could interfere with the healing process.
-
Be Patient: Results may take time to become noticeable as the skin undergoes the natural healing and regeneration process. Be patient and consistent with your skincare routine to achieve optimal results over time.
