Brighter, More Even Skin Begins Here
Sun exposure can gradually change the way your skin looks and feels. This type of damage can cause uneven pigmentation, dryness, and a coarse or leathery texture. These changes often show up more quickly in areas that receive the most direct exposure, such as the face, neck, chest, and hands.
At VITAHL, we offer treatments in College Grove and Thompson Station, TN, that address sun damage and help improve the appearance of pigmentation irregularities.
If UV exposure has accelerated visible aging and caused changes in texture and tone, we will lead you to a suitable treatment based on the type of damage you have noticed. Some signs of sun damage can be treated in just one or two sessions, while others are best treated with a series or a combination of options planned out over several months.
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the leading cause of sun damage and irregular pigmentation. UV rays trigger a response in the skin that increases melanin production, which can lead to freckles, sun spots, and blotchy discoloration. Repeated exposure can also break down collagen and elastin and contribute to textural changes like roughness or thinning.
Hormonal fluctuations, certain medications, and inflammation from acne or injury can also make the skin more reactive to sunlight. Genetics can influence how your skin responds to UV exposure, which may affect the severity and visibility of pigmentation concerns.
BroadBand Light (BBL) targets pigment at the surface of the skin and within the visible discoloration. It uses light energy, which is absorbed by concentrated melanin, heats the pigment, and encourages the body to clear it naturally. We use BBL for a range of concerns, including darkened areas linked to sun exposure, freckling, and uneven tone.
Our sunspot removal treatments help improve clarity in areas affected by UV exposure. Some patients choose BBL for sun damage when they want a non-surgical option that can address both pigment and mild redness. When treating brown patches from sun exposure, the spots may darken at first and then will gradually flake off over the next several days.
Chemical peels exfoliate the outermost layers of the skin to help lift pigment and reveal fresher, brighter tissue underneath. We select peel strengths based on your concerns, which allows us to target discoloration, rough texture, and sun-induced dullness.
Our approach offers support for those seeking a hyperpigmentation treatment when pigment is widespread. Some medium-depth chemical peels for pigmentation can offer results in one session, while more superficial peels may need to be scheduled in a series.
The Moxi laser delivers non-ablative fractionated energy to stimulate renewal within the skin. We use it to address rough texture, dullness, and pigment irregularities from repeated UV exposure. The device creates micro-coagulation zones that encourage the skin to replace damaged cells with healthier new tissue.
Some individuals choose our pigmentation treatment with Moxi when they want a gentler option that still offers noticeable improvement. Laser treatments for pigmentation support the overall health of the skin and help prevent signs of aging. Our Moxi laser for sun damage is used in a series of treatments performed monthly, with maintenance treatments twice a year.
Professional treatments are most effective when they are supported at home with a consistent skincare routine. Skincare can extend the benefits of your treatment and protect the skin from future damage. Your skin is also often more receptive to the calming and nourishing ingredients in skincare after an aesthetic treatment.
We recommend a daily moisturizing cream for your skin type that includes SPF so that sun protection is built into your day. Your routine should also include cleansers to remove dirt, oils or makeup, and gentle exfoliation to regularly lift away dead skin cells. You can talk to us about products that are suited for your skin type and that are suitable for use after professional treatments.
At VITAHL Medical Aesthetics, we care about helping our patients find the right options by listening carefully and customizing each approach to their concerns. Whether you are dealing with discoloration, sun exposure, or rough texture, we will recommend the right facial pigmentation treatment or brown spots on skin treatment based on what your skin needs.
