While sun exposure is essential for vitamin D synthesis, prolonged UV exposure can leave its
mark on your skin. Redness, uneven pigmentation, and age spots are common signs of
photodamage. At Kendall Cosmetics in West Pymble, Dr. Nelly Zahedi and our dedicated team
offer advanced cosmetic medicine treatments designed to help rejuvenate sun-damaged skin and restore its natural radiance.
Understanding Sun Damage
Sun damage, or photodamage, occurs when your skin is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This exposure leads to several cellular changes, including:
Redness and Inflammation:
UV rays dilate the blood vessels, causing redness and irritation, which can result in
painful sunburns and long-term skin issues.
Pigmentation Issues:
Excess melanin production triggered by sun exposure can lead to hyperpigmentation,
characterized by dark spots and an uneven skin tone.
Age Spots:
Also known as liver spots or solar lentigines, these flat, brown or black spots are a
telltale sign of long-term sun exposure and ageing.
Cosmetic Medicine Treatments for Sun-Damaged Skin
At Kendall Cosmetics, we offer a range of non-surgical treatments to address these signs of sun
damage. Our treatments are tailored to your unique skin concerns and are performed under the
expert guidance of Dr. Nelly Zahedi.
Topical Treatments
Retinol and Retinoids:
Retinol and retinoids (e.g., tretinoin) boost cell turnover and collagen production,
effectively reducing hyperpigmentation and improving skin texture. Over-the-counter
retinol products are available for milder cases.
Hydroquinone:
This skin-lightening agent helps reduce dark spots by inhibiting melanin production. It is
used under professional supervision to minimize side effects and ensure optimal
results.
Vitamin C:
Topical vitamin C serums not only brighten the complexion but also help to protect against
further UV damage by acting as a powerful antioxidant, stimulating collagen synthesis in
the process.
Laser Therapy
Fractional Laser Resurfacing:
This innovative treatment creates microscopic wounds in the skin, stimulating collagen
production and promoting skin regeneration. It is highly effective at reducing
pigmentation and age spots while enhancing overall skin texture.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL):
IPL therapy targets pigmented areas by emitting broad-spectrum light that is absorbed
by melanin. This process helps break down dark spots and reduce redness leaving you
with a clearer and more even skin tone.
