Solutions to Sun Damage

Now that summer is over, and the seasons begin to change, the condition of your skin becomes more apparent, and this is the time that we have clients coming in to ask about treatments and/or products to resolve their sun damage. The obvious signs of overexposure to the sun and the natural aging process are age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, rough and sagging skin, redness (rosacea), uneveness, and discoloration. We hear the same thing time and time again - "I spent a lot of time in the sun when I was younger, and now my skin is suffering. What can I do to look young again?"

The first step is scheduling a free skin consultation with one of our estheticians. They will analyze your skin and ask you what you find most troubling, and then they can offer solutions. Depending on your particular concerns, they may recommend products and/or treatments. The most effective overall skin transformation product system is Obagi Medical. Obagi has been the industry standard, developed by Dr. Obagi and backed by research and clinical trials, to essentially transform your skin at a cellular level. We often have clients coming in wanting a 'quick fix' to all of their problems, but skin transforamtion takes time. This system is an 18 week program that will undoubtedly change your skin for the better.

Even more effective correction of sun damage is to combine Obagi with photofacials and Microdermabrasion. The photofacial targets the more surface damage, whereas the Obagi works at a deeper level. The microdermabrasion helps keep the skin fresh by sloughing off the uppermost layer of the skin during the transformation process. Those with extensive damage can benefit even more by receiving an Obagi Blue Peel during the process, which is a deeper TCA peel performed by our physician.

Obagi also offers solutions to rosacea, with their Rosaclear System, and acne, with their Clenziderm System.

If you're looking in the mirror and thinking that you need some help and advice, call us at 616.336.7662 to learn more about what we have to offer. It's not too late to reverse your damage and you'll quickly find that it's well worth the investment. If cost is a barrier, we help with financing through Care Credit, where you can get 6 months interest free financing. Entrust your skin care needs with the experts at Indigo MedSpa.
