Concerned About Sun Damage?
Restore your skin’s health and radiance with expert treatments at Studio 16 in Abbotsford.
Reversing the Effects of Sun Exposure
Years of sun exposure can take a visible toll on your skin, leading to dark spots, a leathery texture, fine lines, and a general loss of vibrancy. This is known as photoaging, and it’s one of the primary causes of premature aging. At Studio 16 in Abbotsford, we offer powerful, restorative treatments designed to repair the visible effects of sun damage and protect your skin’s future health.
Our approach is to correct existing damage while strengthening your skin’s resilience. Let us help you reverse the signs of sun damage and restore a clearer, smoother, and more youthful-looking complexion.
How Does the Sun Damage Your Skin?
Understanding the impact of ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the first step in effectively treating its consequences. Sun damage occurs deep within the skin, and its effects accumulate over time, becoming more visible as we age.
Collagen and Elastin Breakdown
UV rays penetrate the dermis and accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin, the essential proteins that give skin its structure, firmness, and elasticity. This leads to wrinkles, sagging, and a loss of smoothness.
Pigmentation Issues (Sun Spots)
To protect itself from UV radiation, the skin produces more melanin. This can result in an uneven clustering of pigment, creating freckles, solar lentigines (age or liver spots), and a generally blotchy skin tone.
Rough, Leathery Texture
Chronic sun exposure damages skin cells and impairs the skin’s natural exfoliation process. This leads to a buildup of dead, damaged cells on the surface, resulting in a coarse, leathery texture.
Impaired Skin Barrier
Sun damage can weaken the skin’s protective barrier, making it less able to retain moisture and more susceptible to environmental irritants. This often leads to dehydration and sensitivity.
Our Expert Solutions for Sun-Damaged Skin
At Studio 16, we utilize advanced treatments that are proven to repair, resurface, and rejuvenate sun-damaged skin. Our goal is to correct discoloration, improve texture, and rebuild your skin’s healthy foundation.
The Gold Standard for Renewal: Green Peel®
The Problem
Stubborn pigmentation (sun spots), rough texture, and fine lines caused by chronic sun exposure.
The Solution
The Green Peel® is a world-renowned, herbal-based resurfacing treatment that triggers a powerful renewal process in the skin.
How it helps
This peel causes the skin to shed its damaged outer layers, where sun spots and textural irregularities reside. It stimulates the growth of new, healthy, and evenly-pigmented skin, dramatically improving overall tone and texture. It is our most effective treatment for comprehensive sun damage reversal.
Brighten & Correct with Oxygeneo® Illuminate
The Problem
Dullness, uneven skin tone, and early signs of sun-induced hyperpigmentation.
The Solution
The Oxygeneo® Illuminate Super Facial is specifically designed to target pigmentation and boost radiance using ingredients like Kojic Acid and Vitamin C.
How it helps
This 3-in-1 facial exfoliates pigmented surface cells while infusing the skin with powerful brightening agents that inhibit melanin production. It is an excellent choice for tackling mild sun damage and restoring a luminous, even complexion with no downtime.
Rebuild & Refine with Microneedling
The Problem
Wrinkles, enlarged pores, and a loss of firmness resulting from the breakdown of collagen due to sun damage.
The Solution
Microneedling is a collagen induction therapy that uses fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin, initiating a robust healing and remodeling response.
How it helps
By stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin, microneedling works to repair the skin’s damaged structural matrix. It helps to smooth wrinkles, reduce pore size, and improve the skin’s overall firmness and texture, effectively counteracting the long-term effects of photoaging.
Energize & Repair with Red LED Light Therapy
The Problem
Cellular damage, inflammation, and sluggish skin function caused by UV exposure.
The Solution
Red LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to energize skin cells and support their natural repair functions.
How it helps
This therapy boosts collagen synthesis and improves circulation, helping to repair the skin at a cellular level. It reduces the inflammation associated with sun damage and strengthens the skin, making it more resilient. It serves as a fantastic complementary treatment to enhance the results of peels and microneedling.
