Sun Damage and Age Spots

When we were young we spent hours bathing in the sun in pursuit of the darkest, deepest tan. Now we know that sun exposure can catch up with our skin, and we all have seen the results - sun spots, age spots, liver spots, freckles, and weathered-looking skin. If you have damage due to overexposure to the sun, Indigo can help revitalize your skin and reveal your skin's natural beauty.

The first step in addressing sun damage and age spots is scheduling a consultation to address your needs, and receiving Indigo's professional guidance in deciding what course of treatment would best serve your needs. Indigo offers individual treatments that can reverse age and sun spots, and also treatment packages that use several treatments and products in combination over a treatment period for maximum results. Below are some of the solutions that may be recommended to correct sun damage and age spots. To learn more about a treatment, click on the title below.

Intense Pulsed Light

Light treatments target damaged skin areas, caused by the effects of the sun and other factors, by removing color pigments and reversing the appearance of spots. These darkened skin areas are treated without affecting the healthy surrounding skin.

Laser Skin Treatments

Laser treatments use targeted energy to make dark spots, freckles, rosacea, age spots, and spider veins vanish before your eyes.

Sun Damage Repair Packages

Sun damage repair package treatments start with a microdermabrasion, which uses a DiamondTome wand to slough off dry, dead skin cells and reveal smooth, younger-looking skin. Next you're treated with Intense Pulsed Light or the Elite Laser to reduce the appearance of age spots and sun spots.

Next you will receive an ultrasonic facial which uses a warming instrument to infuse the skin with zinc and oxide to build collagen and rehydrate. This treatment can help the skin look younger, healthier and re-energized.

After a three week period you will receive the same combination of microdermabrasion, light or laser, and ultrasonic facial treatments. You will also receive the Obagi Starter Kit, which offers the highest quality and most powerful skin-repairing ingredients to treat sun damage and its effects. This kit is an 18 week skin care program that gives you everything you need to begin your pathway to healthy skin.

Two more microdermabrasion and ultrasonic facial treatments are performed at 6 weeks and 12 weeks to maintain the beautiful healthy skin that's been revealed. This package also includes Sun Defense Minerals from Eminence which helps to protect the skin from future damage.

For more damaged skin, we offer another package which includes the same treatment plan described above plus an Obagi Blue chemical peel to peel away dead and damaged skin cells and reveal a fresh new complexion. To learn more about the Obagi Blue Peel, click here.

Testimonials

"I would recommend Indigo MedSpa to anyone who wants to look younger. Every time I get a treatment I really feel like the things I didn't like about my skin (dryness, age spots, some wrinkles here and there) are being treated at the source. It's not just about slapping on some product and rubbing it in, these treatments make a real noticeable difference in my skin..." Click here to read more.

"I had some sun damage from my days of laying out, when that was the thing to do, and my chemical peels have completely taken away the darker spots on my skin from the sun. The microdermabrasion treatments help my skin stay smooth, and every time I get one I know I'm doing something really beneficial for my skin. My skin looks so much younger than it used to, and now I'm actually proud to tell my age..." Click here to read more.
