Sun-Damaged Skin? How to Repair and Rejuvenate After Summer
After months of sunshine, sunscreen, and outdoor fun, your skin might be showing signs that it’s ready for a little TLC. Even with the best sun protection, it’s common to notice the after-effects of summer — like sunspots, dryness, dullness, and rough texture. The good news? Fall is the perfect time to reset and repair your skin.
Here’s how you can reverse sun damage and get your glow back with the help of professional treatments and dermatologist-recommended skincare.
1. Treat Sunspots and Uneven Tone
Sun exposure can trigger hyperpigmentation and dark spots — often referred to as sunspots or age spots. In-office treatments like chemical peels or laser therapies (such as IPL or Fraxel) can effectively break up excess pigment and brighten your complexion. These treatments are typically more effective (and safer) post-summer when your skin is less likely to be exposed to intense sun.
2. Smooth Texture with Microneedling
Microneedling stimulates collagen production, which helps improve the texture and tone of your skin while minimizing the appearance of fine lines and sun damage. It’s a gentle yet powerful way to encourage skin regeneration after a long summer.
3. Hydrate and Repair with Medical-Grade Skincare
A high-quality skincare routine is key to supporting your skin between treatments. Look for products that contain:
- Antioxidants (like Vitamin C) to protect and brighten
- Retinol or Retinoids to encourage cell turnover
- Hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and plump the skin
- Gentle exfoliants (like lactic or glycolic acid) to smooth and renew
Not sure where to start? Our providers can help customize a skincare regimen tailored to your skin’s unique needs.
4. Don’t Forget Preventive Care
Repairing sun damage is important — but so is preventing future issues. Even as the weather cools down, continue using broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily, especially if you’re receiving treatments that make your skin more sensitive to UV rays.
