Q: Describe how proper skin protection has turned into a year-round decision for people of all ages
A: With growing awareness of the long-term risks of skin damage, using sunscreen and protective skincare daily has become a key part of maintaining healthy, youthful skin at all times. Our providers make sun protection a central part of every consultation, guiding patients toward products that will best protect their skin from harmful UV exposure and environmental stressors.
Q: What’s the most important thing you tell your clients when it comes to protecting themselves from the sun, especially in the summer?
A: The most important thing I tell patients about sun protection, especially in the summer, is to wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day, even on cloudy days or when you’re indoors near windows. Reapply every two hours, and more often if swimming or sweating. Sunscreen is your first line of defense against both UVA and UVB rays, which can lead to premature aging, sunburn and even skin cancer. Additionally, I recommend wearing protective clothing, seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing sunglasses and hats for extra protection.
At Beautifully New, we offer a range of advanced treatments to repair and reverse the signs of sun damage, helping to restore a more youthful, even complexion.
Q: What are some common (or new) treatments at Beautifully New that can repair the signs of sun damage?
A: At Beautifully New, we offer a range of advanced treatments to repair and reverse the signs of sun damage, helping to restore a more youthful, even complexion. Two of our most powerful options include our Sciton BBL Hero laser, which is a technology that delivers faster, more powerful and more effective results than traditional IPL treatments. It works by using light energy to target and eliminate brown spots, redness and uneven pigmentation caused by sun exposure. Benefits include:
* Reduction of sunspots, freckles and age spots
* Diminished redness and broken capillaries
* Collagen stimulation for firmer, more youthful skin
* Evening out overall skin tone and texture
* Minimal downtime with long-lasting results
We also love our MOXI laser at Beautifully New — it’s a favorite amongst our team and patients. MOXI is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser perfect for preventing and reversing early signs of sun damage. It’s an excellent choice for all skin types and provides:
* Light resurfacing to improve texture and tone
* Reduction of fine lines, sunspots and melasma
* Collagen production for a radiant glow
* Minimal downtime (often just 24 hours of redness!)
* Preventative anti-aging benefits for younger patients
