Silicon Valley Aesthetic Dermatology, a skincare clinic in Foster City, California, has announced new content on addressing sun damage through laser skin rejuvenation. The announcement comes as many Bay Area residents who grew up in an era of sunbathing are now seeing the effects of years of sun exposure, including age spots, wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation.
Dr. Miguel Canales, Medical Director of Silicon Valley Aesthetic Dermatology, noted that while California's sunshine is a benefit, older residents may have accumulated skin damage from past sunbathing habits. "Lucky for them, we have new laser skin technology to help those past sunbathers repair sun damage from years ago," he said.
The clinic's new blog post, available at Noticing the Ghost of Summers Past on Your Skin, explains that common creams and lotions cannot fully address sun damage. Laser skin rejuvenation treatments penetrate the dermis to break down damaged cells and stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin.
Several types of lasers are used, including Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Broadband Light (BBL) for broken capillaries and brown spots, non-ablative lasers that smooth texture and break down hyperpigmentation without removing the epidermis, and ablative lasers that target top layers of damaged skin to treat wrinkles and leathery textures.
For those interested in the treatment, the first step is scheduling a consultation. More details are available on the clinic's laser skin rejuvenation page.
Silicon Valley Aesthetic Dermatology serves clients throughout the Bay Area, including Redwood City, Burlingame, Palo Alto, Belmont, and Mountain View. Services include injectables like Botox and Juvederm, laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, facials, and thread lifts.
