What Are the Effects of Sun-Damaged Skin?
Sun damage occurs when ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun or tanning beds penetrate the skin, causing harm at a cellular level. Over time, this damage accumulates, resulting in:





Prolonged sun exposure can also increase the risk of precancerous lesions and skin cancer, making early detection and treatment essential.


Comprehensive Sun-Damage Care

Step 1: Thorough Skin Assessment
Dr. Mastruserio begins with a detailed examination of your skin to assess the extent of sun damage. This evaluation helps identify areas of concern and guides the creation of a personalized treatment plan.

Step 2: Treatment Recommendation
Based on the assessment, we determine if PicoWay laser treatment is the right option for your skin. Depending on your specific needs, additional therapies such as chemical peels or topical treatments may be recommended to enhance results.

Step 3: Personalized Treatment Plan
Once the treatment options are selected, Dr. Mastruserio develops a customized plan tailored to repair and revitalize your skin, targeting discoloration, rough texture, and other signs of sun damage.

Step 4: Sun Protection Guidance
To help maintain and protect your results, we provide expert advice on sun protection. This includes recommendations for sunscreen, protective clothing, and skincare products designed to prevent further damage and support long-term skin health.
Restoring Skin with Laser Therapy
The PicoWay, Lutronic Clarity, and Fraxel lasers are advanced, non-invasive treatments designed to target pigmentation, sun damage, and overall skin texture with minimal discomfort or downtime. PicoWay effectively breaks down pigmentation and stimulates collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation. Lutronic Clarity offers dual-wavelength technology to address discoloration and vascular concerns while promoting a more even skin tone. Fraxel penetrates deep into the skin to resurface and improve texture, reducing fine lines, sunspots, and other signs of aging. Whether you’re looking to correct specific areas or achieve overall skin renewal, these laser treatments provide safe and effective solutions for reversing sun damage on the face, hands, neck, and other exposed areas.
Preventing Further Skin Damage
While treatment can reverse many signs of sun damage, prevention is the key to maintaining healthy skin. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen, avoiding peak sun hours, and regular skin checks are essential for reducing the risk of further damage and potential skin cancer. Incorporating protective measures, such as wearing hats and UV-protective clothing, can further shield your skin from harmful rays. By staying proactive, you can help preserve your results and support long-term skin health.
