Unfortunately, some amount of sun damage is inevitable as the years go by. If you find yourself with dark spots, wrinkles, and other signs of photoaging, Dr. Langdon can help you find an effective treatment. He may recommend trying one of our medical-grade skincare options with ingredients like vitamin C that help the skin protect and heal itself from external damage. 

We offer multiple skin rejuvenation treatments for fast, lasting, and dramatic improvements to sun-damaged skin. A board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Langdon can help you assess your skin condition and determine the best treatment to restore your complexion. He may recommend one of the following options for patients with sun damage.

Microneedling

When sun exposure damages your skin, it also impairs its ability to repair that damage. Microneedling treatments use strategic, controlled micro-damage to stimulate the skin’s healing process. This helps clear away the blemished surface and increases collagen production in the deeper layers.

In addition to SkinPen® microneedling, we offer radiofrequency microneedling that uses RF energy to enhance the treatment’s efficacy. Or, patients can choose AquaGold® fine touch™ for an innovative microneedling treatment that also infuses their skin with beneficial vitamins, antioxidants, and other skincare ingredients.

PhotoFacial

A PhotoFacial uses BroadBand Light technology to remove excess pigmentation, making it a perfect treatment for dark spots and redness. Pigmented skin cells absorb the BBL energy and break down. Your body then naturally absorbs and filters out the destroyed cells, clearing away brown spots, spider veins, and other pigmentation issues. It can also help fade acne scars.

Laser Treatments

The Langdon Center offers multiple advanced laser treatments. Some of these treatments, such as ResurFX and PicoSure, are very effective for restoring sun-damaged skin. The laser energy heats the dermis to promote healing and collagen production. Depending on the treatment, the laser may also partially ablate the surface, removing dull, damaged cells to make way for a healthy new layer of skin. 

CO2 laser resurfacing may be beneficial for moderate to severe sun damage. During a detailed consultation, Dr. Langdon will help you determine the best laser treatment.
