It’s no secret that Texas has sun-filled, uncomfortably warm temperatures most of the year. Whether you like it or not, if you’re a Texas resident, you get more than your fair share of vitamin D, even if you spend most of your time indoors. The Texas sun is great for some things, like accompanying long drives, dips in the swimming pool, and country music lyrics. But one area where the unending sun has a negative reputation is with skin care in Plano TX and surrounding areas.
Discoloration: Excessive tanning or sun exposure can lead to skin discoloration. Burns are obviously red, while other sun damage is white or brown. Sun damage can lead to discoloration and overall uneven skin tone.
Excessively Dry Skin: The sun tends to dry skin out, and if not properly moisturized, the result can be skin that’s constantly dry, itchy, or flaky.
Brown Spots: Sometimes referred to as age spots or liver spots, darker colored spots can be a result of too much sun exposure. These spots run deep, so a gentle cleanser and daily moisturizing isn’t enough to get rid of them.
Tightness or Sagging: Have you ever been severely sunburned and your skin felt so tight it could tear? The same happens if your face is burned or has too much time in the sun. It can feel painfully tight. This tightness is often followed by early wrinkles or sagging over time.
Even those with an extensive skincare routine and SPF sunscreen have sun damage. Here are some options for sun-damaged skin to explore at Le Beau Visage Medical Spa:
Microdermabrasion: This skin resurfacing treatment gets rid of dead or flaky skin. It also removes dirt and oil and freshens pores.
Chemical Peels: Peels are a great way to balance skin complexion, eliminate discoloration and get smooth, clear skin. There are different levels of chemical severity, and you will work with an expert to decide which peel is best for your skin type.
Photo Facials: IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a popular treatment for sun spots and other sun damage. It evens skin tone, improves redness, and reduces the look of sun damage.
The Best Products: We also sell a number of skin care products that are professional grade and better than anything you can purchase at a drugstore. In-office treatments are immediately more effective in terms of sun damage, but a healthy home routine is also key.
We believe we are the premiere location for skin care in Plano TX. Whether you have sun spots from too much outside time or you are starting to notice shallow wrinkles or other signs of aging skin, we can help. Come in for a few chemical peels or microdermabrasion sessions and see what we can do for your skin! You shouldn’t have to hide from the sun! After all, this is Texas.
