Sun Damage
Years of sun exposure can contribute to pigmentation, uneven texture, premature aging, and changes in overall skin health.
Sun damage builds slowly. Every unprotected afternoon adds a little more UV exposure. It shows up years later as brown spots, rough texture, broken capillaries, fine lines, and skin that has lost its firmness. The chest, hands, and forearms often show it first, because sunscreen rarely gets applied there.
In Southern Oregon, where long, dry summers pull people outside to hike, golf, garden, and float the river, sun damage is one of the most common concerns we see. The good news is that much of the visible damage can be improved without surgery. Below are the treatments we most often recommend. Explore each one, or schedule a consultation and we will match you to the right one.

Signs to Look For
What Sun Damage Looks Like
Sun Spots & Age Spots
Flat brown spots that gather on the face, hands, and chest, and darken with every summer.
Uneven, Blotchy Tone
Patchy pigment and a dull, mottled complexion that makeup has to work harder to cover.
Rough, Leathery Texture
Skin that feels coarse and catches light unevenly where it once reflected it.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin faster than natural aging alone.
Redness & Visible Capillaries
Persistent flushing and small visible vessels, especially around the nose, cheeks, and chest.
Crepey, Thinning Skin
Loss of firmness that shows most on the neck, décolletage, and forearms.

Timing & Protection
Making Your Results Last
Why Fall & Winter Are the Best Time to Start
Laser resurfacing and peels leave new skin especially sensitive to UV for several weeks. That is why the darker months, when you spend less time in direct sun, are the ideal window to treat summer’s damage. Starting a series in the fall gives your skin time to renew before spring.
Protecting Your Results
Treatment improves the damage you already have. Daily protection keeps new damage from undoing it. We recommend broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day, including cloudy days and through car windows. Reapply when you are outdoors, and add a hat for long days outside. Your provider can recommend medical-grade sunscreen and skincare to support your results.
Your Safety First
When to See a Dermatologist First
Some changes caused by sun exposure need a medical evaluation, not a cosmetic treatment. See a dermatologist before any aesthetic treatment if a spot is new, growing, changing in color or shape, itching, bleeding, or will not heal. During your consultation, if anything looks like it needs a closer look, we will tell you.
