The long, hot days of summer are winding down and you’re looking ahead to fall and winter, which is a good time to take stock of your skin. The reality is that sun exposure can do a number on your skin — it’s responsible for a whopping 90% of the visible changes in your skin, a process known as photoaging.
Whether you’re dealing with fine lines and wrinkles, sun spots, facial veins, uneven texture, or a bit of everything, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Juan-Carlos Caballero and our expert team at Warrenton Dermatology & Skin Therapy Center have you covered.
It’s a fantastic time for advanced skincare: The evolution of science- and evidence-based medical spa services, combined with the field of dermatology, allow us to offer more options than ever for revitalizing sun-damaged skin.
When it comes to correcting sun-damaged skin, one of our biggest workhorses is our Sciton Joule™ platform, which provides broad band laser (BBL) light therapies that can tackle a number of common surface issues linked to photoaging, including:
These laser treatments are so effective that it’s little wonder that more than 3.1 million people chose to have them in the United States in 2024 alone.
Another great solution for sun damage are the numerous skin resurfacing and collagen induction treatments we offer, including:
This is an ablative laser procedure that clears away surface concerns, as well as old and tired skin cells on the outermost layer of your epidermis. From boosting the overall tone of your skin to handling old scars, our Fraxel Dual system is a great way to refresh sun-damaged skin.
The Fraxel Dual is not only perfect for tackling surface concerns, we can also direct it deeper into your tissues to address skin laxity by encouraging cellular regeneration and collagen synthesis.
Another effective way to revitalize sun-damaged skin is through microneedling, a procedure in which we create tiny microchannels across your skin to break apart surface concerns and encourage collagen production to lift and tighten your skin.
We use SkinPen® technology for our microneedling, and we can also add platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to give your skin cells a regenerative boost.
While not exactly new, chemical peels still hold a valuable spot in our skincare offerings as they’re highly effective in peeling back the dead, damaged skin layers to reveal healthier skin just beneath. We can customize the strength of your chemical peel to address everything from age spots to a generally dull and dry complexion.
As with light-powered laser treatments, these resurfacing procedures are very popular — more than 3.7 million were performed in 2024.
As you can see, you’ve got excellent options for undoing the effects of photoaging in your skin.
